What Are the Benefits of Incorporating Other Wellness Services into Physiotherapy Treatment?

If you deal with chronic pain or are recovering from surgery, physiotherapy treatment is the most common treatment route. Continued physiotherapy treatment can strengthen the body, minimize pain, and get you back to how you were feeling before.

However, while physiotherapy treatment is beneficial for most conditions, incorporating other wellness services and creating a comprehensive treatment plan is the best way to overcome any injury.

Massage Therapy is Great For Injured Muscles

A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) specializes in treating acute and chronic conditions. The purpose of massage therapy is to relieve pressure on soft tissues, muscles, joints, and ligaments. Massage therapy is effective for a handful of conditions including:

• Sports injuries
• Arthritis
• Lower Back Pain
• Stress

It is important to note that there are numerous types of massage therapy (Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial release), and each technique provides different benefits. Before getting a massage, explain your symptoms and conditions to an RMT for guidance on the best technique for you.

Add Chiropractic Treatment for Neck & Back Pain

Chiropractic treatment is highly effective for injuries to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, including the back and neck regions. If you suffer from migraines, acute upper back pain, or whiplash, manual manipulation treatment can quickly remedy your pain and muscular imbalances.

As you can see, creating a comprehensive treatment plan for your condition will set you up for immediate and long-term success.
