Dry Needling And It’s Benefits

Do you face complications such as headaches, problems related to blood pressure or the whooping cough?

The main goal of dry needling is to alleviate muscle soreness and cramping, although it may also aid in improving flexibility. Physiotherapists at PhysioExperts have furthered their studies and perfected the art of acupuncture and dry needling in order to better serve our clients. We use sterile, single used needles which are disposed of dutifully. They are used as part of an inclusive treatment strategy that also involves hands-on mobilization, exercise, and other techniques. An acupuncturist will insert needles into a person’s body with the goal of balancing their energy. This increases well-being and can help fight off infections.

Dry Needling can be beneficial in the following ways :

– It can act as a substitute for pain medication
– It can control some types of pain
– It can be effectively combined with other treatments
– There are very few side effects

How to workout with a Bosu Ball

Do you want to learn how to use a Bosu ball in your workouts? We’ve got you covered.

What is a Bosu Ball?

A Bosu ball is inflated on one side and has a flat platform on the other. It looks like an exercise ball divided in half. It’s a balance trainer, with an unstable surface on which the user may conduct exercises that target a range of muscles.

Not only is it a balance aid, helping user’s co-ordinate muscles and nerves for unstable conditions that you experience in everyday life, but it also assists in a number of other types of training, such as stretching, rehabilitation, and strength training.

BOSU exercises build core and overall strength and improve balance, stability and flexibility. Because of the instability, just about any exercise on the BOSU works the core, even if it doesn’t feel like it.

Here are 3 Bosu Ball exercises:

1. Ball Push-up

– Start in a plank posture with your hands on the flat side of the ball,
– Put your toes on the floor and keep your legs straight.
– Raise your body to the point when your arms are virtually straight (do not lock your elbows).
– Hold for two seconds while balancing.
– Slowly return to your starting posture and repeat.

2. Bosu Ball Mountain Climber

– Place a Bosu in front of you on the floor. Place your hands on the edge of the Bosu and your feet on the floor behind you, resting on your balls. This is where you’ll begin.
– Bend your right knee and draw it towards your chest while keeping your left foot on the floor.
– Return to the starting position by extending your right leg.
– Bend your left knee and draw it towards your chest while keeping your right foot on the floor.
– Return to the starting position by extending your left leg. Alternate between right and left for the number of repetitions specified. Gradually increase your pace, making sure the moving leg does not touch the ground.

3. Single-leg hold

– Place the Bosu flat side down.
– Place one foot in the middle of the Bosu and step up onto it, balancing on your leg.
– Maintain your balance for 30 seconds, trying not to let your other foot touch the Bosu or the ground.
– Repeat on the other side.

“WHAT” “WHYs” & “HOWs” about Pediatric Physiotherapy

It is an extremely undermined topic when it comes to physiotherapy for children, and it has proven to be an equally essential crucial form of therapy for babies, children, and adolescents. 

As important as Physiotherapy is for elderly people and is considered a necessity, in the same way, at a growing age of a child, rehabilitation and therapy for the development of the brain, bones, and muscles are crucial.

In this blog, we will give insights on Pediatric physiotherapy and answer the most common questions asked about this therapy.  

What is Pediatric Physiotherapy?

Pediatric physical therapy focuses on children from age 0 to 18 to promote physical and motor growth aiming to achieve optimal development. Our pediatric specialists work with the children to develop a child’s:

  •       Motor function.
  •       Posture.
  •       Enhancing the growth of the bones.
  •       Strength of the muscles.
  •       Flexibility.
  •       Balance.
  •       Coordination.
  •       Sensory understanding. 

These treatments include manual therapy, education, functional playing, understanding the development of the child, and preparing personalized treatment plans for your child that include pediatric physiotherapy exercises. Motivating the growth of the child’s development is crucial for the long run.

Why do children need Pediatric physiotherapy? 

As a child begins its growth and development, the right direction and motivation of each growth are necessary for independence and achievement of self-esteem. Pediatric physiotherapy exercises are capable of providing a safer form of development, strengthening, and developing necessary preventive measures of physical damage, just like sports pre-rehabilitation. 

This majorly addresses muscular weakness, imbalance, and coordination. An individual plan is developed for every child as every child is built differently however, the common programs include activities for balance and coordination, safety and prevention programs, and Motor development activities that include therapeutic playing. 

How does Pediatric Physiotherapy work? 

Children with special needs or normal development problems need Paediatric Physiotherapy. At PhysioExperts, we have a special approach towards children with any needs. For instance, the most common worrisome topic that remains for parents is speech development. Children stuttering in childhood is very common as they have heard you talking, and they register some words in their head. However, there is a complex dance happening in their head as they know the word, they might know the meaning of a few words they have heard, however, they are struggling with how to use it and where to use it. We do not know what is happening in their head nor do they know but they are confused, and they want to speak but they are yet in the Speech development stage and learning how to speak. 

For this reason, Pediatric Physiotherapists at PhysioExperts, focus on each child’s development by understanding their motor development skills by following a plan of pediatric physiotherapy exercises. This engages the child in activities that interest them in development and growth. This eventually helps to prevent a child’s sensory reaction. If this reaction is not assisted, a child can develop a temper and can throw tantrums, and have mental breakdowns. 

We aim to engage the child and the parent in this process to develop a bond with them and also get the parents used to understand their child’s motor needs. 

Benefits of Pediatric Physiotherapy: 

  •       Stronger joints
  •       Range of motion
  •       Developing muscular strength
  •       Speech development
  •       Working on the reflexes
  •       Creating the right posture
  •       Developing equilibrium skills
  •       Gait training
  •       Building self-esteem
  •       Develop an independent mindset

At PhysioExperts we offer much more than just general physiotherapy treatments to help you restore your mobility and help you make sure to not put yourself in any harm’s way.

Steps to choose an expert physiotherapist? 5 Things to keep in consideration.

Physiotherapy is a treatment that helps you restore mobility when lost due to accidents, sports, or minimal day-to-day work injury. A trained physiotherapist has a humongous demand in the field of healthcare, as this treatment is often recommended by physicians after surgeries that involve cutting through the muscles, critical health issues like, loss of balance or consciousness, stroke, heart attack, and others. However, you would want the best for yourself and your loved one, wouldn’t you? But how would you know?

Here is one secret when you book a physiotherapist.

An expert in physiotherapy will ensure that you regain the lost mobility and that the pain due to the injury is gone, but the best physiotherapist would also want to make sure the measures necessary from the injury coming back are taken care of as well – A motto that we follow at PhysioExperts. 

Things to consider when you book a physiotherapist:

1.     Registration and Qualifications

It is extremely important to make sure the physiotherapist you are booking is a Registered physiotherapist of the province. This marks the reliability of the expert treating you as a certified physiotherapist in acupuncture, massage therapy, sports injury, and pelvic floor rehab.

Qualifications of physiotherapy are the diplomas, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees obtained from a recognized university or college.

These qualifications ensure that the physiotherapist is aware of the clinical diagnosis and the therapeutic methods and techniques of treatments for a particular injury.  

2.     Expertise

Physiotherapy covers a wide range of expertise for which you must know which is the best for you before you book a physiotherapist. For instance, if you have back pain you want to see a physiotherapist that specializes in musculoskeletal conditions. If you have a balance problem, you want to book a physiotherapist that has expertise in Vestibular therapy. If you are recovering from a heart condition like heart bypass surgery, you want to make sure you see the best physiotherapist who has expertise in cardiovascular physiotherapy. Always call at the clinic with a gist of your condition before booking an appointment to make sure you get what you deserve i.e., at Physioexperts, we treat you only if the conditions lie under our expertise. We believe in complete transparency with our patients. 

3.     Methods of treatment

Physiotherapy is best known for its non-invasive/non-surgical practice of medicine that includes massage, movement, and exercise. However, these days the medicine of physiotherapy is reaching the sky. There are other technologies that are used by the best physiotherapists that include reflexology, acupuncture, taping, cardiorespiratory, shockwave therapy, and many more. The use of these techniques depends on the health condition of the individual. Your initial assessment will determine the plan of your treatment and the methods that will be used. Sometimes, a combination of these technologies has proven immense results but only if used the right way. Do not worry, the experts would know! 

4.     Interpersonal skills

Whenever you visit a clinic for the first time, you want to feel comfortable with the physiotherapist treating you and this is achieved when the physiotherapist talks to you about your condition in detail, what is the plan of the treatment, explaining their steps of treatment. This will help you understand your condition better and also help you assess ways of taking care of yourself. When an expert physiotherapist informs you of your condition and the plan for your treatment, you can judge how qualified the physiotherapist is and how confident they are for what they do. Besides, it also showcases the transparency they want to maintain. 

5.     Availability

One of the most important factors that come into play is the availability of the best physiotherapist. Whilst being in pain, the last thing you want is to be put on a waiting list. It is extremely necessary to get the treatment in earnest before things get worse by inquiring about their flexible hours and earliest booking policy if any. This comes in handy when there is a relapse and urgent attention by the best physiotherapist is needed. 

Before finalizing any physiotherapist, make sure to go through some google reviews and search. Check out their website and testimonials. It is necessary to be comfortable with your physiotherapist and understand the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment that suits best for your condition.
