Check-Up Time: 4 Reasons For Physio Visits

  1. Your body loses mobility in muscles and joints every day

    Muscles lose size and strength as we age, contributing to fatigue, weakness and exercise tolerance. Bone structure changes, resulting in a loss of bone tissue. Low bone mass means weaker bones and puts people at risk of fractures from a sudden blow or fall.

  2. No more masking muscle pain with medication without solving the problem

    The use of anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs used to treat muscle and joint pain does not really solve the ailment, but simply palliates the pain momentarily, reproducing it later and sometimes creating a rebound effect that is difficult to reverse when the medication is discontinued.

  3. Don’t let that slight discomfort become chronic pain

    Related to the previous point, if we endure an occasional pain that we treat as something inevitable and do not give it the importance it deserves, over time, it can become something chronic due to the wear and tear and the mistreatment to which we have been subjecting that particular part of our body.

  4. Nothing hurts, as usual; the usual is that nothing hurts!

    Pain is a warning from our body that something is wrong. Whether it is due to illness, a response to stress or injury, we need to be aware of the problem and try to solve it as soon as possible.

Visit your physiotherapist at least once a year and start believing in preventive medicine as a solution to serious health problems triggered in the medium and long term.
