How To Choose A Physiotherapist Well

Physiotherapy is a health discipline focused on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of ailments or injuries through physical, mechanical means, or exercises; as well as the correct treatment of motor functions.

Therefore, receiving physiotherapy is receiving health treatment, and is at the level of other health activities. That is why we must know what we need to look for in a physiotherapist so that he or she is suitable for our characteristics and needs, especially if we have a chronic ailment or a serious injury.

At “Town Physical Therapy“ we believe that the correct choice of a physiotherapist can be decisive in receiving the appropriate treatment that we truly need, in order to see results early and in the fewest sessions possible.

Next, we will give you 5 aspects that are decisive when choosing a physiotherapist and making the right choice.

What To Take Into Account When Choosing A Physiotherapist

There are different reasons why we choose a physiotherapist, but we give you some main tips to have as a guide when looking for a physiotherapy consultation:

1. Recommendations

Consulting with friends who have already attended a physiotherapy consultation, especially if you are an athlete and they have received a good sports physiotherapy treatment, is an aspect to consider. Receiving recommendations will help you to have a physical therapist in mind to make your search easier. There are also opinions on the web, so it is possible to consult opinions that can give you a general idea about a physiotherapist.

In addition, you can also receive recommendations from your own doctor or, if you are an athlete, from your personal trainer, who knows your physical condition well and may know of a physiotherapy professional who can help you.

2. Professionalism

Of course, always go to a professional physiotherapist who can demonstrate that they have studied that degree and obtained the title. 

You can ask for their membership number to make sure that the person who is going to treat you is a qualified professional, and the physiotherapist will tell you without any problem. We cannot play with our health, so it is totally understandable that you want to make sure who is going to treat you before choosing, to ensure that you will receive treatment from a person trained to do so.

Knowing the training of our physiotherapist is totally normal, so be sure to ask if you have any questions.

3. Continuous Training

Consulting the services and treatments they offer is important, since physical therapy evolves year after year. Innovations in this field are important to update and improve the way of treating pathologies, in addition to specialization. If you need specific treatment, you will want to find a professional physical therapist that specializes in the trauma you may be suffering from. Furthermore, this will make the treatment effective as soon as possible, requiring fewer sessions than if we visit a physiotherapist who is not specialized in what we need.

At “Town Physical Therapy” we have state-of-the-art equipment and we continue to train every day to offer the most innovative techniques, already including radiofrequency system among our services.

4. Proximity

The importance of having your physiotherapist’s office nearby is not something that we should overlook. The convenience of having it close to our home or work can facilitate access to treatment, as well as to alleviate any emergency that may arise as soon as possible. To this we could also add the importance of long hours to be able to receive treatment before or after work.
