When you first start your physiotherapy program
[ID: Gif of Samwell Tarly saying “I’m not cut out for this start of work”]
HospitalGlam :; errors in framing. I like it anyway. Letting go of perfection has personally been my biggest obstacle with disability. It’s also been one of my greatest learning moments… To learn that absolutely nothing will go exactly as planned, or even expected.
That to seek perfection is to seek out futility. ///
PT this morning. At this point I’m only going for osteopathic management. Hopefully after I recover from surgery I can get back to strengthening.

A picture before I dive deep into my studies , cause this set up looks so hygge I have to admit that I have been procrastinating since morning when I have a huge topic to finish !!
And yes my dining table is now serving as my study table ! Why ! ? …. Because this area is so lit in my living room and also I need a lot of space with my large books !
Ok bye
When Sundays are for studying !
Determination is the strength needed to succeed✨

WHY PHYSIOTHERAPY IS IMPORTANT?
Because there’re scientifically proven benefits to improve health, let’s have a closer look at them.
Ultrasound therapy is an electrotherapy which has been used in physiotherapy practices since 1950s. It is when high frequency sound waves cause vibrations and movement of cellular fluids.
Benefits of ultrasound therapy include improving the healing rate of certain soft tissues, as it:
- Increases blood flow to an area in order to accelerate the resolution time of the inflammatory process.
- Stimulates the production of collagen (the main protein in tendons and ligaments) during tissue healing.
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is muscle compression using electrical driving forces or impulses. In the 1960’s, Soviet sport scientists applied EMS in the training of their elite athletes, claiming 40% force gains.
Nowadays it can be utilized as a strength training tool for healthy subjects and athletes; it could be used as a rehabilitation and preventive tool for people who are partially or totally immobilized; it could be utilized as a testing tool for evaluating the neural and/or muscular function; it could be used as a post-exercise recovery tool for athletes.
While EMS can be an effective tool in physical therapy and rehabilitation, it’s just one of many strategies employed by physical therapists, sports medicine physicians, and orthopedists.
Other forms of therapy include:
- muscle-strengthening exercises using weights, resistance bands, machines, and a person’s own body weight
- massage
- range-of-motion exercises
- stretching and flexibility exercises
- ice and heat treatments
All in all, all the methods mentioned above are tools, and should be used accordingly. That’s why when your doctor suggests physiotherapy sessions with EMS, ultrasound, and corrective exercises please keep in mind they all have proven benefits. Stay healthy

PHYSIOTHERAPY
The other day I posted that I’m going to the hospital to do my physical therapy and someone mentioned that it was kind of useless and exercises at home for him were enough.
And I’d like to bring some awareness to this topic. My doctor prescribed me physical therapy based on examining my current condition, MRI, and X-ray. In my case I’m being treated with ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), and exercises.
I’m sorry that for that person physiotherapy was useless or he considered it to be useless. I was thinking why it could have possibly happened like that and the first reason which came to my mind - lack of trust in his doctor. Very often when it comes to pain and problems with the spine it is challenging to heal and recover fast. Sometimes we should have second or third opinion, choose one that we trust the most, and then take action.
Second reason - lack of consistency. Physiotherapy has to be consistent, physiotherapy has to be followed by the exercises, and the change in our life style.
Once my pain was less after the medications, the doctor sent me to physiotherapy where the neck and shoulder where I had the most pain were treated first by ultrasound and EMS, and then followed by the exercises.
To be efficient it has to be consistent. Every day I have to do the exercises that my doctor gave me, and take care about sitting/standing for too long, reducing the level of stress, learning to be patient, and taking care of myself in every possible way.
I trust my doctor, I’m consistent, and I’m in the process of healing and recovering. Doctor’s prescriptions are scientifically based, and it takes doctors years of studies and practice to prescribe this or that treatment. I would definitely think thousand times before saying physiotherapy is useless.
