Physiotherapy

Ortho Rehab is the major component of Physiotherapy anywhere. Here at NMHC apart from Conventional Physiotherapy which includes pain relief, range of motion exercises & strengthening, we use different techniques of Manual Therapy used internationally like Mulligan Mobilization, Maitland Mobilization, and Kalten borne for different joint & soft tissue pathologies.

Orthopedic Rehabilitation at NMHC has new & most important additives like exercises for developing Muscular Endurance, Motor control exercises thus bringing the neurological component in Ortho Rehabilitation.

We firmly believe that physiotherapy should be patient centered. This means that the patient’s problems, the goals they want to achieve, is of paramount importance to us when formulating a treatment plan. Therefore, we at N.M.H.C do not base treatment on one physiotherapy principle alone. Instead we adopt a pragmatic approach and use therapeutic principles that we consider to be the best bits of each technique for each individual. This allows us to realise the potential of every patient.

NMHC utilize a combination of numerous physiotherapy principles to provide the most beneficial treatment for our patients. These include the Bobath Concept (normal movement), the Carr and Shepherd Concept (motor relearning) and Conductive Education. The treatment approach used varies depending on the individual, their symptoms and their goals. This allows us to maximise the potential of our patients.

Pediatric physiotherapy involves rehabilitation of babies and children with neurological conditions. The physiotherapists at NMHC specialise in treating neurological conditions (problems with the brain, spinal cord or peripheral nerves). Babies and/or children with neurological conditions may have difficulties with their physical functions including mobility, muscle strength, range of movement and balance. Physiotherapy treatment for children with neurological or developmental problems will maximise their potential and promote physical development to reach specific milestones (e.g. rolling, crawling and walking).

Geriatric population is the most neglected population in our society. The active & energetic person of one time becomes lonely & neglected after certain age. They are made to exercise in a group. The exercises include exercises for preventing Knee pain, Back pain, Neck pain, Shoulder pain, Balance training, Cardiopulmonary Conditioning, Ergonomics, Life style modification, Pranayama, Relaxation & entertainment as well. This one hour a day becomes very refreshing & recreative for them in addition to providing many health related benefits. It helps them to age gracefully.

At N.M.H.C, Rehabilitation after sports injury is very specific according to the muscles and ligaments or other tissues injured. Depending on type of injury, there can be several areas of dysfunction and hence the condition has to be diagnosed and treated by a sports Physiotherapist specialized in this subject the treatment and its results may vary according to the severity of injury and so the duration of rehab may also vary.
The key is to return the body to the normal function so that the player can resume his sports as perfectly and efficiently as before.
