Introduction

Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation
Get Back in Action

Physiotherapy and rehabilitation are designed to optimize patient function and well-being, helping patients return to their usual activitieswhether at home, work, or leisure. Zoi provides multidisciplinary rehabilitation care for people of all ages for every pain-related condition.

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 and that you get the best possible care.

Physiotherapy can help to treat the following

Joint Pain

Muscle Pain

Soft Tissue Injuries

Recovery from Surgery

Bruising

Foot Pain

Joint-Related Injuries

Cryotherapy
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.

Short Wave Diathermy
Short wave diathermy uses electromagnetic radio waves to convert energy into deep heat. A 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 use of heat to treat injuries can help increase blood flow, minimize inflammation, and accelerate healing.

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 restore balance, function, mobility, and reduce pain and swelling.

Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound has a great number of medical uses and is often 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 and hasten healing. It can help 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 in cleaning teeth for dental hygiene. Ultrasound is used in physical therapy, with 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 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 that stimulate surface nerves and block pain signals. This continuous stimulation is delivered deep into the affected tissue using two low-frequency currents to produce an intermittent frequency current.

Manual exercises

A variety of exercises are used using props or ones own body weight to build the tone and strength of muscles. For strengthening joints after surgery, it is important to make the muscles and ligaments around the joint strong and supple.

Deep Tissue Release

Helps in releasing muscles fibres with pressure in specific points which have contracted due to misuse or pain and are not able to relax anymore voluntarily.
