Physiotherapy is movement.
The movement of the human body is a joint action of body and mind. Our body is able to self-correct and compensate temporarily deviations in movement . If prolonged, deviations can start to cause problems. We feel that as pain.
Pain is the body's alarm signal, its function is to serve survival and to tell us about the state of the body. Pain can be a signal of tissue damage. Tissue damage can occur suddenly as a result of injury or gradually as a result of structural deterioration. In this case, there is a structurally identifiable cause of the pain.
However, often musculoskeletal pain (symptom) begins without a structurally identifiable cause and doesn't disappear with rest. The pain may then be a result of a unilateral load on the body or restricted movement in body region. These situations lead to movement impairments that are consistently repetitive and identifiable.
Movement impairments may be caused by tissue damage, pain, irrecoverability or protective mechanisms of the nervous system. In addition, psychological factors such as fear of movement-related pain or a memory of pain associated with a particular activity can cause movement impairments.
Thus, at Helsingin Fysioterapiaklinikka we always take into consideration the structural condition of the body and the conditions of movement during the examination. At Helsingin Fysioterapiaklinikka, physiotherapy is based on a problem solving approach. We use clinical reasoning process as a problem solving method.
We provide physiotherapy in the form of rehabilitation pathways. A physiotherapy period is suitable for the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries and/or pain.
Physiotherapy as an ongoing or regular process can be useful in a wide range of situations, for example in prolonged musculoskeletal pain conditions. In addition, regular physiotherapy is also an excellent way to support active and regular training. The aim of physiotherapy is then to maintain trainability.
Individually tailored physiotherapy is suitable for professionals and active athletes for whom the body is a key instrument. The aim of physiotherapy is to optimise the performance of the body and the nervous system.
