As mentioned, surgical procedures are now deferred unless they are necessary and there is no alternative. This is because surgery is associated with many complications particularly infections.
About this, the Orthocure clinic is determined to use non-invasive procedures whenever possible and it is beneficial for physical therapy. In this way, the risk of harmful side effects is greatly minimized. Physiotherapy is always included in their management plans. - Increase Mobility
Through physiotherapy, people can return to their previous level of functioning. The exercises can be different for each person, depending upon the degree of impairment. It keeps a person active and the muscles are regularly used. This aids in restoring and enhancing muscle function. If needed, assistive tools, such as crutches, may be used. - Overcome Neurological Deficits

Physical therapy can help a person adapt to his new circumstances and level of functioning, whilst reinstituting the motor function as much as possible. It also improves balance and coordination in a patient, therefore, limiting future accidents. - In Athletes
A sportsperson is very much exposed and prone to acquire a musculoskeletal injury. This can have a significant impact on their career. Physiotherapy here can not only prevent such injuries by strengthening the commonly involved muscles and tendons but also cure them by rebuilding the damaged structures. Consequently, physiotherapy has a major role in the longevity of an athlete’s career. - Managing Geriatric Diseases
