Orthopedic Physiotherapy

About the treatment

Orthopedic physiotherapy treats injuries and dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system. It covers conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, tendinitis, sprains, post-fracture rehabilitation and joint pain. We use detailed kinetic-functional assessment to create an individualized treatment plan.

What is it?

Orthopedic physiotherapy is a specialty focused on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunctions: bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. It is the most sought-after type of physiotherapy and treats everything from back pain to post-fracture rehabilitation.

Who is it for?

Recommended for anyone with joint, muscle or spinal pain, whether from poor posture, repetitive strain, injuries or natural wear. It is also essential for those suffering from herniated discs, tendinitis, bursitis, osteoarthritis or rehabilitating after fractures.

How does the treatment work?

Treatment begins with a complete kinetic-functional assessment, including postural analysis, mobility and strength tests. From there, we develop a plan with therapeutic exercises, manual therapy techniques, electrotherapy when indicated, and daily living guidance. Sessions are progressive and regularly reassessed.

Session duration and frequency

Sessions last 50 to 60 minutes. Most patients require 8 to 16 sessions, attending 2 to 3 times per week. Chronic conditions may need longer follow-up.

Expected results

In the first sessions, the focus is pain relief and inflammation reduction. Within 4 to 6 weeks, most patients report significant improvement in mobility and function. The ultimate goal is complete symptom resolution and recurrence prevention.
