Physiotherapists can become specialists in therapy for patients suffering from a very diverse range of conditions, including:
Arthritis
Physiotherapists can provide patients suffering from arthritis with a range of exercises and movements to help manage pain resulting from arthritis.
Published peer-reviewed research has shown that physiotherapy can be extremely useful for rehabilitation in arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
These exercises can help patients improve joint movement and range of motion as well as strengthening muscle.
Back Pain
There are a lot of things that can cause back pain, and many different types and degrees of pain. Some back pain builds up slowly, whilst some occurs instantly due to an injury or overexertion.
Physiotherapy for back pain helps as part of comprehensive care that should include (if recommended by an expert) CT scans and 3d imaging of the back to determine if the spinal vertebrae have suffered any injuries. In all cases, physiotherapy is a crucial element of the recovery process, helping patients stay active and educating them on exercises that will improve the patient's immediate pain whilst also building a strong set of stabilising muscles and other related muscles as a preventative measure for future relapses.
Stretching is a huge part of the process and whilst under the care of our highly skilled physiotherapy team, both the neurological and musculoskeletal dimensions will be treated in order to ensure recovery is comprehensive.
Asthma
The first thought for many people who are living with asthma is most likely not physiotherapy, but an expert in respiratory physiotherapy will help build a tailored therapy and exercise plan that is highly effective in easing respiratory airways.
Other beneficial effects can include the removal of a greater degree of sputuum or mucus, which can help improve overall physical fitness particularly in the lung tissue.
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
Cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack or other cardiovascular disease can assist in the recovery, at our rehabilitation center in Dubai a physiotherapist will treat you first by assessing the medical condition of the patient body, after this rehabilitation will be tailored to the specific cardiovascular and general conditions of the body.

DIABETES
Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common medical issues, in addition, the percentage of people who are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes is greater.
Physiotherapists can play a crucial role in helping people suffering from type 2 diabetes to have a higher quality of life, by staying active and reducing body fat and improving the body's ability to process glucose, which are integral in managing to treat diabetes.
Sports Injuries
The most common reason to visit a physiotherapy clinic is related to sport injuries. We generally see a wide spectrum that ranges from people who have injured themselves playing a (not so) friendly game of 5-a-side football, or in the gym lifting weights with incorrect form. Generally, the older you get the more advisable training with an experience personal trainer in Dubai is.
Our sports treatment team will always aim to avoid surgery as a solution, particularly for muscle issues, it is important that physiotherapy always incorporates education on exercises to help develop strength in supporting muscles so that they do not become a chronic risk.
For example, if a patient has sprained an ankle playing football, then our team will teach the patient movements aimed at strengthening the supporting and stabilising muscles for the joint in order to help prevent that joint being a soft spot for future injuries.
