Physioway

Ελληνική εκπροσώπηση στο 6o παγκόσμιο συμπόσιο για την τενοντοπάθεια που πραγματοποιήθηκε στην Βαλενθια 9-11/11/2023

What if physiotherapy would only involve:
-education, advice
-manipulation
-dry needling
-exercises
-self massage, like foamroller, triggerpoint sticks/balls, etc.
-prehab exercises

Also in this order of treatment, first education and advice, then reset the system, then moving in the improved mobility, and keeping everything supple and mobile.

Massage can make the patient feel better, release oxytocin.
You do create a better patient-physiotherapist relationship.

Manipulation is not about correcting something structural, but more neurophysiological effects are in play.
Dry needling is not about releasing muscle knots, but also probably more a neurophysiological effect.

Almost everything we do is not about changing something structural, but about non specific treatment effects, which include placebo.
Also important is if the patient feels confident about your abilities, how your communication is, what the patient expectations are, etc.

Would massage still be necessary?
What do you think?
Let us know! :)
