Rameetse Physio - Services

Acute injuries are injuries that occur suddenly, as a result of a traumatic event such as a fall, a twist, or a collision. These injuries can range from minor sprains and strains to more serious fractures and dislocations.

Sports-related injuries are a specific type of acute injury that occur as a result of participation in sports or physical activity. These injuries can range from minor sprains and strains to more serious fractures and dislocations, and may also include concussions, ligament tears, and muscle strains.

Rameetse Physio can provide a comprehensive approach to the management of acute and sports-related injuries, which may include:

Assessment and diagnosis: A physical therapist will perform a thorough examination to identify the specific injury and underlying causes.
Treatment and management: This may include a variety of techniques such as manual therapy, exercises, modalities, and education on body mechanics, ergonomics and posture.
Pain management: Physical therapists may use a variety of techniques to reduce pain and inflammation, such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, ice and heat therapy, and dry needling.
Rehabilitation and recovery: This includes developing and progressing an individualized rehabilitation program to help the patient regain strength, range of motion, and function.
Prevention and education: Physical therapists will also educate patients on how to prevent future injuries and manage their condition through self-care and lifestyle changes.

It is important to note that the management of acute and sports-related injuries should be individualized and tailored to the specific needs and goals of each patient. It is also important to note that a physiotherapist will refer to other medical professionals if necessary.
