The best physiotherapy in Rotterdam

Physiotherapy is a paramedical discipline that focuses on treating and preventing physical complaints and limitations. Physiotherapists specialize in optimizing the movement functions of the human body. They use their knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and biomechanics of the body to help people recover from injuries, reduce pain and improve their physical functions.

The duties of a physiotherapist include:

• Diagnostic research: Physiotherapists perform a thorough evaluation to determine the cause of the complaints. This includes assessing posture, range of motion, muscle strength and joint function.
• Drawing up treatment plans: Based on the diagnosis, physiotherapists draw up individual treatment plans. These plans often include exercises, mobilization techniques, massage therapy, and other interventions to relieve symptoms and restore mobility.
• Exercise therapy: Physical therapists guide patients through specific exercises designed to improve strength, flexibility and stability.
• Manual therapy: Some physiotherapists specialize in manual therapy, using manual techniques to mobilize joints and muscles and reduce pain.
• Advice and education: Physical therapists provide patients with advice on how to improve their health, prevent injuries, and develop safe exercise habits.
• Revalidation: Physiotherapists often play a crucial role in rehabilitation after surgery, accident or serious injury. They help patients restore their physical functions and return to their normal daily activities.
• Prevention: Physical therapists can also recommend preventative measures to prevent future injuries, such as developing good posture and exercise habits.

Physiotherapy applies to a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal problems, neurological disorders, breathing problems and sports injuries. Treatments are tailored to the patient's individual needs to help them improve their mobility, reduce pain and promote their overall quality of life.

In general, however, physical therapy appointments can range from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. Here are some general guidelines:

Standard physiotherapy treatment

A typical physical therapy treatment usually lasts about 30 to 45 minutes. During this session, the physiotherapist evaluates your condition, performs relevant exercises and techniques, and discusses your progress.

Extensive treatment sessions 

In some cases, especially with complex conditions or when multiple treatment techniques are used, a physical therapy session may last longer, up to 60 minutes or more.

Short consultations 

For follow-up appointments or progress checks, a shorter session of about 15 to 30 minutes may be sufficient.
