Physiotherapy and rehabilitation

Physiotherapy has long ceased to be limited to massage or exercises for sports injuries. The discipline has developed significantly and today plays a central role in the recovery of a wide range of physical and psychosocial complaints. Within this broad form of care you will find specialised treatment methods that respond to specific problems, target groups or disorders, and that is exactly where effective rehabilitation starts.

Body and mind connected

Many complaints do not arise from one clear cause. Think of tension complaints, misunderstood pain or prolonged fatigue. In such cases, psychosomatic physiotherapy help, by focusing on the connection between body and mind. Problems in the pelvic area are also often more complex than they seem. Be it incontinence, prolapse or complaints after childbirth: pelvic floor physiotherapy then offers a solution with targeted training and guidance.

Specialised approach for head, neck and cancer

Not all complaints are in the back or knees. There are also people with jaw problems, facial pain or headaches due to muscle tension. They can visit the orofacial physiotherapist, which specialises in treating the head and neck area. Patients living with or recovering from cancer also benefit from specialist counselling. Oncological physiotherapy focuses on improving fitness, mobility and quality of life during and after treatment.

Improve movement and activate lymph

In some cases, the body is restricted in its freedom of movement, without obvious damage. Think stiff joints, a blocked neck or long-term back pain. This is when manual therapy can provide relief, using precise manipulations to restore mobility. For people with lateral curvature of the spine (scoliosis), there is Schroth therapy, a specialised method that brings together posture, breathing and muscle control.

Finally, there is a group of people who experience fluid retention in arms or legs, often as a result of surgery or medical treatment. In such cases, oedema therapy help activate the lymphatic system and reduce swelling, significantly improving mobility and comfort.

Find the right physiotherapist

What all these forms of physiotherapy have in common is the focus on customisation. The right treatment matches your symptoms, life stage and goals. That is why it is important not to choose just any physiotherapist, but to look for someone with specific knowledge and experience.
