Signs You Should Consider Investing in Physiotherapy for a Spinal Cord Injury

The spectrum of spinal cord injuries is broad, and the types of physiotherapy that can help vary greatly depending on the severity and location of your injury. Every person who experiences a spinal cord injury has unique personal goals in mind when they begin physiotherapy. For all these reasons, we tailor our goals to our clients.

Here are a few of the different types of exercises and the signs that you can benefit from them.

Mobility issues after a spinal cord injury can limit the types of physical activities that you can participate in, and with less physical activity in your life, you can gain weight and weaken your heart. Aerobic exercises for people with quadriplegia and paraplegia can help keep you in shape while strength training can help keep your muscles from shrinking and weakening.
Spinal cord injuries can result in muscle spasticity, which is when your muscles remain constricted. Regular stretching can help to expand your range of movement and result in less pain.
Rebuilding your independence can be vitally important as you live with a spinal cord injury. Our team can help you to review and revise your current limitations with functional goals that you can use in your day-to-day life during your recovery.
