Physiotherapy in Perugia

A preliminary medical assessment — by your GP, an orthopaedic specialist or a physiatrist — is always recommended before starting treatment, in order to set up the correct therapeutic protocol. At our centre it is in any case possible to have an initial specialist physiotherapy assessment.

A session generally lasts 45 to 60 minutes, depending on whether it involves manual therapy, instrumental therapy or motor re-education. The frequency — for example 2 or 3 times a week — is established according to the phase of the condition, acute or chronic, and agreed during the first appointment.

Physiotherapy focuses on the recovery of a specific dysfunctional or post-traumatic area of the body through exercises and physical therapies. Osteopathy takes a global approach: it looks for the primary cause of the pain, even far from the symptom, working on the musculoskeletal, visceral and craniosacral systems to restore overall balance.

It is the final phase of the rehabilitation pathway. Once the injured tissue has clinically healed, the patient-athlete moves from the physiotherapy table to the therapeutic gym: here the work focuses on recovering the specific athletic movement, strength, coordination and proprioception, reducing the risk of recurrence before returning to sport.
