A physical therapist (PT) is a health professional who analyses and treats human body problems. They may assist you in managing conditions or injuries to your:

  • Musculoskeletal system (bones and muscles)
  • Neurological structures (brain)
  • cardiovascular system (heart and lungs)
  • Integumentary structure (skin)

Physical therapists in Singapore assist people of various ages and stages of life. Some individuals contact a physical therapist to help them be healthy and prevent future health issues.

For success in this sector, effective communication and problem-solving abilities are required. There are physical therapists at:

  • Long-term care facilities Hospitals
  • Athletic installations
  • Schools with Health Services

What is the role of a physical therapist?

Typically, physical therapists obtain recommendations from physicians and other professionals. Often, they begin by doing a physical examination to acquire a better understanding of the problem. Then, as part of your treatment strategy, they may employ a mix of the following:

  • Stretching Exercise
  • Utilising various equipment
  • Additional manual procedures

The objective is to restore function by enhancing mobility and expanding the range of motion in specific body locations. Ongoing physical therapy treatment can lessen the need for prescription medicines, surgery, or more physical therapy, both now and in the future.

Daily responsibilities of physical therapists include:

  • Performing a diagnosis of your condition and functional capacity by examining your standing, walking, and completing tasks.
  • Considering your worries
  • Creating a personalised treatment plan based on their observations of your condition, desired goals, and anticipated outcomes.
  • Using therapy devices like electrical stimulation equipment or kinesthetic tape
  • Keeping track of your progress
  • Helping you use assistive items such as a crutch or cane
  • Appropriately creating and executing plans to release you from care

Physical therapists can specialise in several areas, such as:

  • Oncology (Cancer)
  • Pulmonology and cardiovascular (heart) medicine (lungs)
  • Geriatrics (elderly health) (elderly health)
  • Orthopedics (bone, joint, and spinal concerns) (bone, joint, and spinal issues)
  • Neurology (brain health) (brain health)
  • Sports
  • The study of clinical electrophysiology
  • Pediatrics (the health of children)

Physical therapists do the majority of their duties on their feet. They rely on their bodies to execute activities such as lifting you, transporting you, and managing your actions. Physical therapists rely on interpersonal skills and the capacity to encourage others to help you grow.

Why You Should Visit a Physical Therapist

If you have an injury or an illness that impairs your physical functionality, your physician may recommend you to a physical therapist. In addition, they may refer you to a physical therapist if you are recuperating from surgery or conditions such as:

  • Discs with herniated bulges
  • Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair
  • Rotator cuff mend
  • Sports injuries
  • Further orthopaedic problems

The duration of physical treatment depends on your condition and your objectives. Typically, a physical therapist consults with your referring physician to verify that they both agree on the proposed treatment plan. Before resuming certain activities, you may require consent from a physical therapist.
