Physiotherapy is the application
of therapeutic massage and manipulation, which treats an array of
musculo-skeletal injuries and conditions. Physiotherapists are fully
trained and qualified professionals.
For good health and mobility, physiotherapy is the
choice of many people in certain circumstances, as an alternative
to taking medicines or having surgery. Problems with joints, muscles
or the nervous systems, as a result of sports injuries, arthritis
or perhaps long term illness can lead to less mobility. Physiotherapy
may be the answer.
There are many qualified physiotherapists in Andalucia.
If you prefer an English-speaking practitioner, you are more likely
to find one in the larger towns along the Costa del Sol - Marbella,
Fuengirola, Benalmadena, Torremolinos, Nerja, etc. Since therapists
come from various countries around the world in this area, where
many nationalities have taken up residence, it is important that
you make the physiotherapist is bona fide before seeking treatment.
Ailments treated by physiotherapy include stiffness,
painful joints, severe headaches or migraine, chronic back or neck
pain, rheumatism, arthritis, fractures or sprains.
If you have a problem that you think a physiotherapist
could help with, its best to have a check up with your general doctor
first, to make sure physiotherapy is appropriate.
