Range of Movement Exercises at Physioheal Physiotherapy in Gurgaon

Range of Movement/Motion

Are you experiencing restricted movement in a joint? At Physioheal Physiotherapy in Gurgaon, our expert physiotherapists are dedicated to helping you regain optimal mobility and function through range of movement exercises. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment options, and the vital role of physiotherapy in addressing range of movement deficits.

Symptoms of Decreased Range of Movement

When should you seek help for restricted joint movement? Recognizing the symptoms is the first step. Common indicators include:

• Limited joint mobility
• Difficulty performing everyday tasks
• Pain and discomfort during movement
• Reduced independence
• Fear and psychological barriers related to pain and decreased function

Causes of Decreased Range of Movement

Understanding the root causes of reduced joint mobility is crucial for effective treatment. Common causes include:

• Arthritic Joints: Arthritis can lead to joint inflammation and stiffness.
• Ligament Sprains: As injured ligaments heal, they may become tight, restricting movement.
• Muscle Strains: Similar to ligaments, healing muscles can tighten, limiting range of motion.
• Foreign Objects in the Joint: Any foreign objects can impede joint movement.
• Post-Joint Surgery: Surgical procedures may temporarily reduce joint mobility.
• Acute Injuries: Swelling and inflammation from acute injuries can restrict movement.
• Post-Joint Replacement: Recovery from joint replacement surgery often requires targeted exercises to restore mobility.
• Pre-Surgery: Preparing for joint surgery with range of movement exercises can enhance post-surgery recovery.

Diagnosis

At Physioheal, our qualified physiotherapists conduct a thorough assessment to determine the extent of your range of movement deficit. This assessment evaluates both the range and quality of movement, laying the foundation for a personalized treatment plan.

Range of Movement Exercises

Range of movement exercises are tailored to your specific needs and may include the following approaches:

• Passive Range of Movement Exercises: These involve another person or body part performing the full movement without muscle activation.
• Auto-Assisted Range of Movement Exercises: Muscles initiate the movement within the available range, with additional pressure applied to increase mobility.
• Gravity-Assisted Range of Movement Exercises: Muscle activation in a gravity-friendly position aids in stretching the limb to its full range.
• Water-Based Range of Movement Exercises: Warm water can relax tissues, increasing their extensibility and facilitating greater movement.

Treatment Benefits

Engaging in range of movement exercises can yield several benefits:

• Increased Joint Mobility: Expanded range of motion at the joint.
• Enhanced Joint and Limb Function: Improved overall function and mobility.
• Improved Movement Efficiency: More fluid and efficient movement patterns.
• Increased Independence: Regain the ability to perform daily activities independently.
• Pain Reduction: Alleviate discomfort associated with restricted movement.
• Joint Integrity Maintenance: Preserve joint health and integrity.
