Dealing with chronic pain in physical therapy sessions at home

Chronic pain syndrome that the patient is exposed to as a result of some medical conditions such as inflammation of the spine, rheumatoid arthritis, back pain, fibromyalgia, inflammation of the intestine, advanced cancers, and trauma following surgical interventions. These conditions cause an imbalance in the coordination between the nervous system and brain signals, stimulating pain for no reason, and resulting in high sensitivity of neurons, making the pain chronic.

The period of the syndrome is usually from three to six months, so that the patient finds himself in a continuous state of pain, especially when moving, and even at rest, he is exposed to stiffness and secondary weakness, and thus an increase in pain.

Physiotherapy sessions at home improve the patient’s range of motion, increase muscle flexibility to relieve pain, and the physiotherapist works to educate the patient about his health condition and how to manage it properly.

Some of the exercises that the physiotherapist relies on in the sessions include:

• Stretching and stretching exercises to improve the patient’s physical functions
• Speed ​​techniques with negative thinking patterns and develop effective challenges
• Careful planning of tasks and activities to control the symptoms of the syndrome
• Relaxation exercises at certain times
• Adaptation techniques on assistive devices to reduce the pressure on the joints and the resulting pain, and sometimes the physiotherapist uses manual therapy exercises to relieve pain.
• Low-impact aerobic exercises to increase your heart rate, such as walking or a stationary bike.
• Strengthening exercises, either through resistance bands or with the same body weight as in squatting training
• Flexibility exercises and pain relief in physical therapy sessions at home
• Instead of suffering from painful movement outside the home, you can use the home physiotherapy service that we provide for you at Capital Home Medical Care.
