Anyone who has an accident and got injured would definitely be familiar with physiotherapy. After all, this clinical science-based therapy has been the reason why many people, especially athletes, gained back their motor function.


A team from National Medical Services (NMS) conducted a visit to Khoula Hospital, Orthopedic Department, recently to introduce the latest rehabilitation devices available in Oman and discuss their plan of treatment.


The team members inspected the devices and the facilities and created an assessment taking every opportunity to educate those working in this area as well as interacting the patient and sharing the potential for recovery.


Physiotherapy plays a critical role in the progressive healing of a patient. It is necessary to prevent the weakening and possible wasting of muscles.


Perhaps what is not generally known is that Physiotherapy is also an important driver in the attainment of a higher quality of life for the patient.


The NMS team, during their visit, highlighted the importance of physio treatment for bones and muscles. They explained that ‘physio’ can make a difference in an individual’s ability to live an active, healthy lifestyle.


For many elderly, disabled or chronically ill people, physiotherapy is the key to restoring and maintaining a level of physical function that permits independent living.


Physiotherapy is also one way to successfully push physical limitations to secure the freedom to function.


For some of the patients at the centre, they have been given some memorable gifts — services that would support their fast healing.
