Track: Orthopedic Physiotherapy
Orthopedic physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy focused on the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries and disorders. It aims to improve movement, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent further injury through physical techniques, exercises, and manual therapy. Orthopedic physiotherapists work with patients recovering from surgery, injury, or chronic conditions affecting the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Key Topics and highlights:
Post-Surgery Rehabilitation: Focuses on recovery after orthopedic surgeries such as joint replacements,
ligament repairs, and fractures. It includes strengthening exercises, mobility
training, and pain management techniques to speed up recovery.
Pain Management: Techniques to alleviate musculoskeletal pain using methods like heat/cold
therapy, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, and manual therapy.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation: Specialized rehabilitation programs for athletes to help recover from
common injuries like sprains, strains, and ligament tears, aiming to return
them to peak performance.
Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques such as joint mobilizations, soft tissue massage, and
stretching used to relieve pain, improve joint mobility, and restore muscle function.
Strengthening and Flexibility
Exercises: Exercise programs tailored to enhance muscle strength, improve flexibility,
and prevent future injuries, especially after joint replacement or surgery.
Summary:
This session will explore the role of orthopedic
physiotherapy in the management and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries
and surgeries. Expert physiotherapists will share insights into evidence-based
practices for pain relief, functional rehabilitation, and prevention of
re-injury. Attendees will learn about the latest techniques in manual therapy,
therapeutic exercises, and modalities used in orthopedic physiotherapy to
optimize recovery and improve patients' quality of life after injury or surgery.
