A catastrophic, tragic incident can leave a dramatic effect on the mental or physical health of an individual. This is what is called trauma. Trauma can be an accident or catastrophe or violence which traumatizes an individual for a long time or it can be a physical injury.
A physical injury can be painful and have lasting effects which can reduce the movement or function of the injured part. Despite good medical treatment, there can be short to long term complications that need addressal
For the Treatment of Trauma along with medicines, physiotherapy can many a time be essential.
How does trauma impact our body?
The human body is designed to move because of contractions and relaxation occurring in the muscles as well as the movement of the bones. An injury can cause sub-optimal function of these parts. This is where Physiotherapy treatment comes in.
Your Physiotherapist will help you to overcome difficulties in moving your body by recommending strengthening exercises, stretching and pain management. This would include home exercise programme.
