Importance of Early Physiotherapy

One of the most important aspects of spinal cord injury management is early physiotherapy intervention. The sooner physiotherapy begins, the 

the better the chances of preserving muscle strength, joint flexibility, and preventing secondary complications like bedsores, infections, or muscle atrophy.Early physiotherapy also helps in:

Preventing joint stiffness and contractures

Improving blood circulation and heart health

Enhancing respiratory function

Reducing pain and discomfort

Our Approach to Spinal Cord Injury Physiotherapy

1. Muscle Strengthening and Maintenance

Muscle atrophy and weakness are common after SCI. Our strengthening exercises are designed to target weakened muscle groups, preserve muscle mass, and support basic movements like sitting, lifting arms, or standing with assistance.

2. Hand-Eye Coordination Training

We focus on improving coordination and fine motor skills. Functional training activities such as reaching, gripping, writing, or feeding oneself are included in the rehab program.

3. Adaptive Technique Training

Every patient is taught practical ways to perform daily tasks using adaptive tools or assistive devices. This includes wheelchair navigation, dressing techniques, and hygiene management tailored to each person’s capabilities.

4. Balance and Mobility Rehabilitation

Our mobility training helps patients improve posture, trunk control, and balance. Whether it’s transferring from bed to chair or learning to stand with support, our plan includes guided, progressive exercises.

5. Bed Mobility and Transfer Training

We provide training in movements like rolling in bed, sitting up from a lying position, and safe transfers to a wheelchair or commode. These are essential for daily independence.

6. Contracture Prevention and Management

We use manual stretching and physiotherapeutic exercises to prevent and manage joint stiffness and muscle shortening, known as contractures, which can otherwise lead to long-term deformities.

7. Bladder and Bowel Management

Spinal cord injury can affect bladder and bowel control. Our rehabilitation team provides specific training to help patients develop a regular toileting routine using techniques like timed voiding or pelvic floor strengthening.

8. Respiratory Support

In high-level spinal cord injuries, lung capacity and breathing may be compromised. We offer breathing exercises and chest physiotherapy to strengthen respiratory muscles and clear secretions.

9. Cardiovascular Conditioning

Aerobic exercises help in improving heart function and stamina. Our physiotherapy plans incorporate mild-to-moderate cardio workouts based on individual health conditions.

10. Psychological and Emotional Support

Mental health support is a key part of our rehabilitation approach. We provide counseling sessions and peer support to help patients and their families cope with emotional stress, anxiety, or depression that often accompanies SCI.
