The Physiotherapy Team Primus Super SPECIALITY Hospital provides specialist treatment for orthopedic and neurological conditions, amongst others, in a purpose built rehabilitation gym. Each patient is given a full assessment of its condition, which is the key to providing a treatment plan tailored to individual needs. The physiotherapists work to improve joint range of movement, increase muscle strength and reduce pain. Primus Treatment Plan will assist you to improve mobility and functional independence. For conditions such as disc prolapsed, we encourage patients to focus on re-learning movements and sensations that have been lost.

Generally called “spinal manipulative therapy”, spinal manipulation is practiced by physiotherapists to help people reach their maximum level of function and independence in all aspects of daily life.

• Practitioners perform spinal manipulation by using their hands or a device to apply a controlled force to a joint of the spine, moving it beyond its passive range of motion.
• The amount of force applied depends on the form of manipulation used. The goal of the treatment is to relieve pain and improve physical functioning.
• Reviews have concluded that spinal manipulation is relatively safe when performed by a trained and licensed practitioner.  Spinal mobilization is a type of passive movement of a spinal segment or region.
• It is usually performed with the aim of achieving a therapeutic effect. Spinal mobilization has been described as “a gentle, often oscillatory, passive movement applied to a spinal region or segment so as gently to increase the passive range of motion of that segment or region.
• Mobilization is a hands-on manual therapy designed to restore joint movement, power, and range of motion. The therapist gently coaxes joint motion by passive movement within or to the limit of a joint’s normal range of motion.

The therapist’s movement of the joint is very precise and is limited by the amount of joint play, which may be less than 1/8th of an inch. The overall goal of mobilization is to restore normal joint function including the surrounding soft tissue.
