7 Signs of a Good Physiotherapist


 1. THEY HAVE GREAT PATIENCE WHICH REFLECTS IN THEIR DEEDS.

Great physios have power of patience they never loose hope and calm. Most of the patients in the field of physical therapy are suffering from chronic diseases and these condition take long time to recovers. Some time there are the cases where we have to work to maintain the conditions only and keep the patient away from deterioration.

2. GREAT PHYSICAL THERAPISTS HAVE ONE EXTRA SENSE CALLED COMMON SENSE:

 Treating the patients with electrotherapy modality is not the only task in a field with disability as measure. Common sense pay a lot and make a therapist stand out of the queue.

3. GREAT PHYSICAL THERAPIST SPEAK WITH CERTAINTY: 

It’s rare to hear the truly great Physical therapist utter phrases such as "it may be,"“Um,” “I’m not sure” and “I think.” Great Physical therapists speak assertively because they know that it’s difficult to get people to listen to you if you can’t deliver your ideas with conviction.

4. GREAT PHYSIO TAKE RISKS:

 "Risk toh Spiderman ko bhi lena padta hai ... main toh phir bhi physio hoon" means even Spider-man has to take risk ... I am only a physio When great Physical therapists see an opportunity, they take it. Instead of worrying about what could go wrong, they ask themselves, “What’s stopping me? Why can’t I do that?” and they go for it. Fear doesn’t hold them back because they know that if they never try, they will never succeed. so great physical therapists take risks.

5. THEY GET THEIR HAPPINESS FROM WITHIN:

Happiness is a critical element of greatness, because in order to be great, you have to be happy with who you are. Physical therapists who brim with greatness derive their sense of pleasure and satisfaction from their own accomplishments, as opposed to what other people think of their accomplishments.

6. THEY AREN’T AFRAID TO BE WRONG:

Don't afraid of anybodies father! Great Physical therapists aren’t afraid to be proven wrong. They like putting their opinions out there to see if they hold up because they learn a lot from the times they are wrong and other people learn from them when they’re right. Learn from the mistakes of others. Self-assured people know what they are capable of and don’t treat being wrong as a personal slight.

7. GREAT PHYSICAL THERAPISTS SEEK OUT SMALL VICTORIES.

Great Physical therapists like to challenge themselves and compete, even when their efforts yield small victories. Small victories build new androgen receptors in the areas of the brain responsible for reward and motivation. The increase in androgen receptors increases the influence of testosterone, which further increases their confidence and eagerness to tackle future challenges. When you have a series of small victories, the boost in your confidence can last for months and years.

What can you do with Physiotherapy?



Musculoskeletal which is also called orthopaedic physiotherapy and is used to treat conditions such as sprains, back pain, arthritis, strains, incontinence, bursitis, posture problems, sport and workplace injuries, plus reduced mobility. Rehabilitation following surgery is also included within this category. 

 


The good news is if you seek out a physiotherapist immediately after getting back pain, treatment is extremely effective. ... Physiotherapists skilled in manual therapy use precise hands-on techniques to relieve stiffness and improve movement of the joints and muscles of your spine. 

 

 Does physiotherapy hurt? Generally, physiotherapy does not hurt although initially the stretches and exercises may cause slight discomfort; this is primarily due to the fact that the body is not used to such movement; as the body adjust and adapts it will be less painful.

Why I am Not Losing Weight!!!

1. Hormones: First on weight loss and weight gain list

Remember when you are hungry but actually angry? There is a term for that called hangry! The anger is an emotional or mood specific response to hunger, something controlled by hormones. So when hunger can make you angry, imagine what would be actually transpiring inside. Any Indian weight loss diet plan cashes in on this and makes you eat often to prevent hormone and enzyme spikes.
It is proven that hormones can either make you fat or even result in weight loss. Ever heard of leptin, ghrelin, stress hormone, thyroid hormones, insulin? Well, all these form a complex hormonal cocktail that greatly influences hunger, feeling of fullness, even fat storage pattern and places! Sounds freaky, doesn’t it? Well, the good part about it is, you could influence some of them (for example insulin, stress hormones etc.) with a good dieting chart.

2. Vitamins and minerals in the diet: Miss them and you miss weight loss goals

So you thought that burger hurts your waistline by only helping you pile on the calories? Well, think again! Studies are abounding that find nutrients such as vitamin D, calcium, B-complex vitamins can influence your weighing scale readings. Time to look at food in a more wholesome manner (like a healthy Indian diet) than just calories, cheese, butter, oil, fat etc!

3. Toxins in your belly giving your weight loss a toss

What are toxins? Everything around us; be it the pollution, smoke, food colours, food additives, plastics etc are all toxins and one of the obesity causes. Research finds that excess exposure to toxins make our body store it in small fat pockets. Yes, that is fat and toxins being stored in the body.

4. Sleep less and lose weight less 

If you sleep less then your body tries to cope up with the related exhaustion in multiple ways. By increasing secretion of stress hormones, making you susceptible to infections among other things. The result, weight gain.

5. The big baddie in the weight loss world; stress

Stress is like this enemy which weakens your body from all angles. Not only does it release hormones which result in fat storing but you tend to reach out to sugar and salt laden foods to comfort yourself. So even if you’re on any Indian diet plan to lose weight, lack of sleep can still keep you fat.  Read more about these 5 lesser known causes of obesity and how to tackle them.
