Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

Introduction

Get back in action

Physiotherapy and rehabilitation are to optimise patient function and well-being to help the patient get back to their usual activities whether at home, work or leisure. Zoi provides multi-disciplinary and rehabilitation care for all ages of people for every pain-related conditions.

Expert Medical Care For Best Clinical Outcomes

At Zoi, all our therapy involves an examination, treatment goal planning, diagnosis and implementation. The strategies include exercise therapy, manual therapy, mobilization, diathermy, ultrasound therapy, TENS etc. to ensure that we cover the entire spectrum of your medical conditions to ensure you get the best possible care.

Cryotheraphy

Ice has long been used to treat injuries and painful muscles; cryotherapy or “”cold therapy”” uses localized freezing temperatures to treat muscle pain, abnormal skin cells, nerve conditions and localized areas of certain cancers. It can also alleviate sore muscles and joints after a workout, which allows for faster recovery.

Cryotherapy is most commonly used to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue through cryosurgery. A specific spot on the skin for example with a wart or cancerous cells, can be frozen off using subzero temperatures to freeze and kill the diseased portion.

Short wave diathermy

Short wave diathermy uses electromagnetic radio waves to convert energy into deep heat. High-frequency electric current is used to target tissue. This current can reach tissue as deep as two inches below the skin’s surface. Heat is not applied directly to the skin, instead the body generates its own heat through the waves produced by the diathermy machine.

These waves are used to treat pain from kidney stones and pelvic inflammatory disease, as well as conditions that cause pain and muscle spasms such as arthritis and fibromyalgia. The usage of heat to treat injuries can help increase blood flow, minimize inflammation and accelerate healing by increasing blood flow.

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)

Home Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)

Electrical muscle stimulation or EMS can prevent strength loss and muscular atrophy (loss of muscle mass/tissue) when a limb is immobilized. Electrodes are applied to the skin and connected via a wire to an e-stim machine. A tingling sensation will be felt.

This therapy can help with muscle strengthening, reduce discomfort and pain, reduce muscle spasms, rehabilitate parts of the body and maintain muscle tone. Additionally it can also restore balance, function, mobility and reduce pain and swelling.



Therapeutic ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound has a great number of medical uses, often being used to treat chronic pain and promote tissue healing. It provides deep heating for soft tissue which helps to increase blood circulation to those tissues. This helps to promote and hasten healing.

It can help to reduce carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder pain, joint tightness, osteoporosis and ligament injuries. It can also help in breaking calculi such as kidney stones and gallstones and cleaning teeth for dental hygiene. Ultrasound is used in physical therapy, with the maximum absorption in soft tissue occurring between 2 and 5 cm. The intensity decreases as the waves try to penetrate deeper into the skin.

Interferential Therapy (IFT)

Interferential therapy has been used in therapy for a number of years to treat injured tissue. IFT is thought to stimulate parasympathetic nerve fibres to increase blood flow and reduce oedema. Specific frequencies can stimulate or increase blood supply to accelerate healing.

It uses medium frequency currents to deliver intermittent pulses to stimulate surface nerves and block pain signals. This continuous stimulation is delivered deep into the affected tissue using two low frequency currents to produce intermittent frequency current.
