KINESIOTHERAPY

When joint mobility or muscle strength and mass decrease, as well as the ability to perform voluntary movement, kinesiotherapy comes to our aid thanks to its specific ability to address these issues.
The term kinesiotherapy derives from the union of two Greek words, ‘kinesis’ (movement) and ‘therapeia’ (treatment), meaning “treatment through movement”.

Kinesiotherapy is a branch of physical medicine and rehabilitation that focuses on the use of physical movement as a therapeutic means to treat muscle, joint, and other physical conditions. This discipline uses therapeutic exercises, controlled movements, and other specific techniques to improve muscle strength, flexibility, coordination, and joint mobility.

The goals of kinesiotherapy may vary depending on the patient’s needs and the condition being treated. These goals may include pain reduction, restoration of muscle and joint function, improvement of posture, prevention of falls, and recovery from trauma or surgery.
