Physiotherapy
Keywords:We offer physiotherapy services to specialist medical care patients in Uusimaa and to rehabilitees on hospital wards and at outpatient clinics.
Our aim is to promote and maintain the functional capacity and mobility of our patients in various situations throughout their life span.
We begin physiotherapy with an evaluation of the patient’s functional capacity and mobility. Based on this, we draw up individual goals and a plan with the patient and possibly with the patient’s family members as a part of a comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation program.
Physiotherapy may include guidance and counselling to promote health and functional capacity, therapeutic training, physical treatments as well as the assessment, selection, and monitoring of the need for assistive devices.
Physiotherapy may be given individually or in groups. We also offer remote rehabilitation services. In specialist medical care, treatment periods are often short. Physiotherapy then focuses on providing instruction for patients and their family members and on organizing physiotherapeutic further rehabilitation and monitoring.
Our physiotherapy is science-based, applying research and knowledge in our field and other disciplines. We also work with other professionals and organizations in social services and health care.
