Physiotherapy Online was established in May 2011 with the purpose to provide a one stop comprehensive service to the general public to provide in terms of physiotherapy services and resources. All the information, support and advice regarding physiotherapy and related services can be found on one page and the frustration of browsing the internet is diminished.
Firstly, the website aims to deliver a free service to the general public to educate, support and advise in whatever medical need a physiotherapist may assist you. Secondly, by registering on the website, exposure will be given to physiotherapists, instructors conducting classes like pilates, yoga, ante- and post natal classes and general exercise classes, subacute medical clinics, rehabilitation centres as well as companies providing equipment, material and medicine to aid in the recovery of any illness.
There is a section on the website where physios answer questions, give advice and refer for treatment, exercise classes or alternative support if necessary.
The mission is to be easily accessible and provide a prompt service to anyone in need of health care and advise.
- - Refrain from diagnosing yourself. Rather leave it to the Professionals. Once correctly diagnosed, you can find out more about your condition.
- - A health problem is often not an isolated problem and may be the cause of bad habits. Always take a holistic view to all aspects of your life.
- - Stress is one of the body’s worst enemies, causing many health problems. Managing your stress levels will reduce many of your physical problems like back- and neck pain.
- - Make sure to check your ergonomics and posture when you sit in a chair behind a desk or computer for many hours each day. Bad ergonomics contribute to sceletal muscle spasm.
- - NEVER stop exercising, but always make sure you’re picking the right form of exercise for your specific needs and age. Apart from many other health benefits, exercise will reduce joint - and muscle pain and also build bones.
- - ALWAYS maintain a good posture and by strengthening your core muscles, you secure a stable base for any action, thus protecting your back.
