Patient Education Leaflet
- Tackle pain.
Pain is a signal from your body. Do not be afraid of it. It acts as a baseline to study the “before and after” effects of
any treatment.
- When in Pain, Exercise,
only as advised by your Physiotherapist. Each patient, having similar pains, might
respond to different and individualized treatment.
- Two main causes of pain
: Chemical cause & Mechanical cause. Mechanical pain is tackled by movement, as prescribed by the Physiotherapist. Chemical pain is tackled by
medicines as prescribed by your Doctor and rest. Many a times, the chemical pain may be a response of the body, due to a Mechanical problem. A
coordinated effort between the doctors and the physiotherapist leads to early recovery.
- Too much Rest should be avoided. Too much Rest only weakens your muscles, thus supporting your joints less.
- Do not Ignore Pain for more than 2 days.
The earlier you get it checked; the better will be your recovery. Do not waste time.
- Use correct techniques for day to day activities like sitting, standing, lifting, sleeping, working, etc.
- Interrupt any static posture every half an hour. Change postures frequently.
- You need not depend on machines for your treatment. The therapist shall assess and guide you in the way you can self manage your
condition.
- Follow the advices sincerely
for quicker relief. Do the exercises in the correct form and as frequently as prescribed. Do not be lazy.
- Only you can feel your own pain. Verbal communication between the patient & therapist plays a crucial role. Patient-physiotherapist need to work as a team to understand the patient’s condition in
the best possible way and get the best results for us both.
