A recent chat with Physiotherapist at Federal Medical Center, Idi Aba has A revealed that human body system has been restructured in a way that one must not be dormant but must move always in order to deal with neurological deficiencies.
A Physiotherapist, Dr. Iyiola Ahmed Olaoesan, spoke to Lifestyle on the essence of exercise in human body coupled with aerobics and noted that a causes pain.
According to him, “physiotherapy is a specialty under medicine that deals with rehabilitation.“So basically we deal with patients with neurological deficiencies, that is, patient that has in ability to move , which is part of the reason for referral in adult and in pediatrics and same time anything that can impair movement.
“Neurological deficiencies might be pain but most especially mechanical pain, that is pain that is caused as a result of movement since there are other specialty that treat pain . The pain treated is different from all other specialty.
”Basically, human anatomy has been restructured in a way that the one must not be dormant but must move always, basically what causes pain is movement , and not ordinary movement but repetitive movement, he affirmed.
Dr. Iyiola recounted that accident is also part of neurological deficiencies and it is treated as physiotherapist treats injuries and noted that exercise should be part of the day to day activities of human for his physiology to be normal. The physiotherapist also harped on the need for people to engage in exercise regularly. ”Everybody should try thirty minutes aerobics exercise both early in the morning ant at night. Also brisk walking, cycling, climbing stairs is good. But for someone whose daily work makes him move everytime , such a person might not need exercise since it would become rigorous to what the body can bear he added.
Corroborating the words of Dr. Iyiola, the Deputy Director of Physiotherapy of the hospital, Dr. Abdul Lateef Abdul Rahman Olayinka,, disclosed that physiotherapy is the usage of physical agent like electricity , water and heat in the management of illnesses.
Dr. Abdul Lateef added that illnesses can be caused by damages in the neurological system of human being and people become ill because they are left with complications of the sickness and physiotherapists can tackle all forms of pain.
In his words, “the nature of work or anything that would hinder your movement would make you sick , and packing much weight can cause illness, which are diabetics and so on “Also every time you do somethings and you feels you have not moved , you should walk about and come back to your work”.
”Everybody should move in other in other to avoid pain that causes illnesses . this is why World Congress of Physiotherapist (WCPT), a program held every October has been set to make people move. He concluded that physiotherapy is not just about stroke, as it has eight different sub specialties.
There is physiotherapy for the pediatrics, for women, for old people, to treat back pain , fracture and cervical headache and it is management that we do for a brain as the part of the brain that is dead cannot be resuscitated but can be managed.
