Physiotherapist in Kyiv

Physiotherapy is a vital area of medicine whose aim is to improve, restore and maintain physical well-being through a range of specialized methods and exercises. Thanks to its holistic approach to treatment, physiotherapy plays an important role in improving the quality of life of people with various injuries, diseases or disabilities. CSM Clinic in Kyiv offers the services of a team of physical and rehabilitation medicine (PRM) doctors. Its specialists use established methods developed in line with international standards, which aims to support effective treatment and good results.

Why Is It Important to Use Physiotherapy Services?

The main purpose of physiotherapy is to relieve pain and improve physical function. This is achieved with various therapeutic methods, such as:

• Laser therapy. Uses a concentrated beam of light, which may help reduce the patient's pain and speed up rehabilitation after surgery, injuries, etc.
• Magnetic therapy (low- and high-frequency). Uses a magnetic field and is applied in the treatment and prevention of various ailments, inflammatory conditions, and more.
• Shockwave therapy. Uses acoustic shock waves, which may help speed up the body's recovery processes.
• Electrotherapy. Uses electrical stimulation to reduce pain, support tissue healing and improve muscle function.
• Ultrasound therapy. Uses mechanical vibrations and waves that may have a beneficial effect on the function of the body's cells.
• TR therapy. A method based on a technology aimed at stimulating cell regeneration. It uses high-power radiofrequency energy.

In addition to addressing physical impairments, physiotherapy also plays an important role in improving overall health and well-being. PRM doctors pay special attention to patient education, explaining how to cope with one's condition, lead a healthy lifestyle and prevent further complications. They give recommendations on posture, body mechanics, ergonomics and exercise technique, allowing patients to take an active role in their own recovery and long-term health.

Physiotherapy in Kyiv

Physiotherapy (physical therapy, physiotherapeutic procedures) is a non-drug, non-invasive, generally painless treatment of diseases using various physical factors: heat, cold, electric current, magnetic fields, and UV and IR radiation. Many patients have benefited from physiotherapy. At the multispecialty CSM Clinic in Kyiv, all physiotherapy procedures are performed on certified BTL equipment, which meets international standards.

A course of physiotherapy at our medical center (at any of our locations in Kyiv and Bila Tserkva) aims to support treatment and prevention of a wide range of conditions (including urological, orthopedic and pulmonary problems) and recovery after injuries and operations, and may help increase the body's resistance to adverse climatic and environmental factors, the side effects of medications, and increased physical and mental stress. Some patients notice improvement after the first session, but results vary.

Physiotherapist Consultation

Physiotherapy at CSM Clinic is based on non-drug effects on the body using UV rays (widely used in pediatrics to support immune reactivity), magnetic fields, heat, ultrasound, high-energy short-pulse shock waves, high-intensity laser, directed high-frequency electromagnetic energy (directed contact diathermy), and so on. Before starting physiotherapy, it is essential to consult a physiotherapist and a specialist doctor.

Physiotherapeutic procedures used at CSM Clinic in the treatment of adults and children may also help to:

• treat skin conditions (wounds, burns, scars);
• support the treatment of ENT disorders;
• ease the course of some diseases of the internal organs;
• improve the patient's condition in chronic fatigue syndrome and stress;
• support brain function (including learning ability, concentration and motor skills in children);
• support recovery and strengthening of the nervous and cardiovascular systems;
• increase the body's resistance to adverse external factors and respiratory diseases;
• improve sleep quality;
• speed up the treatment of urological and gynecological conditions, and more.

Physiotherapy is often seen as a supplement to medication, but in some cases it may be used as an alternative to drug treatment or surgery, as decided by the doctor. Physiotherapy procedures are generally painless and have relatively few contraindications, which allows them to be used widely in the treatment and rehabilitation of children.

Physiotherapy Methods Available at CSM Clinic

Physiotherapy at CSM Clinic in Kyiv focuses on quality, speed of action and lasting results. Here you can receive help with your problem (including relief of pain and discomfort) using hardware-based physiotherapy.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a method of physical treatment based on a concentrated beam of light. The technology is widely used for the prevention and treatment of many medical problems, including complications after surgery and injuries. The therapy is painless and has few contraindications.

Directed Contact Diathermy

BTL-6000 TR-Therapy directs high-frequency electromagnetic energy into the target biological structures, producing selective, directed heating (hyperthermia) of tissue. The therapy combines the therapist's manual skills with the capabilities of the device.

Low-Frequency Magnetic Therapy

Low-frequency magnetic therapy is a treatment method based on the use of a low-frequency magnetic field to treat and prevent various diseases. Exposure to a low-frequency magnetic field may widen blood vessels and lower blood viscosity, which may improve gas exchange and nutrition of damaged tissue, improve blood circulation and support repair and regeneration processes.

High-Frequency Magnetic Therapy

High-frequency magnetic therapy is a physiotherapy method based on the use of a high- and ultra-high-frequency magnetic field. The method works through a high-frequency current flowing through an inductor placed on the patient's body. It is used in the treatment of inflammatory processes, post-traumatic conditions, and diseases of the musculoskeletal, respiratory, genitourinary, cardiovascular, nervous and digestive systems, and conditions of allergic nature (including bronchial asthma, scleroderma and rheumatoid arthritis), as part of a treatment plan chosen by the doctor.

Laser Acupuncture

Laser acupuncture is a physiotherapy method in which laser radiation is applied to acupuncture points. The laser acts on the body without breaking the patient's skin (no needle puncture is made). Because the skin is not damaged, the risk of infection that exists with traditional needle acupuncture is avoided. For this reason, the method is often recommended for people with weakened immunity, including children prone to allergic reactions.

Shockwave Therapy (SWT) Sessions

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy has been used for about two decades in many areas of medicine. Targeted exposure to acoustic shock waves may improve blood circulation, stimulate tissue repair and reduce pain and swelling. SWT is also used to treat erectile dysfunction in men.

High-Intensity Laser Therapy

BTL high-intensity laser is a technology based on the established principle of low-level laser therapy. The procedure may be helpful as part of treatment for a wide range of conditions (diabetes, herniated disc, disorders of the musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive and genitourinary systems, skin problems, allergies, etc.), post-traumatic conditions, burns and slow wound healing. It has few contraindications.

Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy is a type of physiotherapy in which the body is exposed to a measured (direct or pulsed) electric current. It is usually used for:

• relief of acute (fractures, bruises, etc.) or chronic pain;
• supporting normal function of the autonomic nervous system;
• stimulating muscle fibers;
• relief of severe pain during post-traumatic and postoperative rehabilitation;
• prevention of musculoskeletal diseases;
• removal of metabolic waste products from cells, and more.

At our clinic, treatment is performed on BTL devices that meet international standards.

At CSM Clinic, electrotherapy is represented by two methods: electromyostimulation and electrovacuum therapy.

Electromyostimulation is the therapeutic use of electric current to increase the activity of skeletal muscles and of the smooth muscles of internal organs. Indications for electrical stimulation include:

• movement disorders;
• problems with the motor and sphincter functions of the stomach and intestines;
• atonic conditions of the smooth muscles of internal organs;
• the need to stimulate muscles to improve peripheral arterial and venous circulation and lymph flow;
• improving breathing by stimulating the diaphragm and the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall;
• increasing and strengthening muscle mass in athletes, and more.

Electrovacuum therapy is a procedure that has much in common with "cupping" used in the medicine of China, Singapore and some other Asian countries. The difference is that with BTL devices, the vacuum inside the cup is created and maintained by an electric drive, which makes it possible to adjust the procedure to the patient's condition and goals.

Electrovacuum treatment is most often applied to the back, abdomen and thighs, and may help to achieve effects such as:

• increased blood flow in the treated area;
• support of the immune system;
• stimulation of metabolic processes and cell renewal, and more.

The method may be used as part of a program for weight loss, correction of poor posture in childhood, stress, reduced immune function, back and neck conditions, bronchitis, asthma, chronic fatigue, and more.

Benefits of Physiotherapy

1. Generally painless, with a relatively quick effect (some patients notice first improvements after one session).
2. Better quality of life and general well-being.
3. In some cases, it may be possible to avoid medication or surgery (in certain conditions physiotherapy can be comparably effective to drug treatment or surgery, as decided by the doctor).
4. Faster rehabilitation after injuries, operations and illnesses.
5. Few side effects when procedures are prescribed correctly.

Physiotherapy for Children

Physiotherapy is widely used in pediatrics around the world. Many types of physiotherapy can be used from the first days after a child's birth. However, procedures are prescribed to children differently than to adults. When pediatric protocols are followed, the young patient can benefit from treatment with a minimal risk of adverse reactions.

Physiotherapy During Pregnancy

The use of physiotherapy during pregnancy has certain special features. During pregnancy, physiotherapy can be used for a fairly long time as a way to prevent certain problems. When prescribed correctly, it is less likely to cause side effects (including allergies) and acts on specific areas without affecting neighboring organs and tissues. Physiotherapy procedures can also be combined with drug therapy, may enhance its effect and may reduce the doses of medication needed. In addition, physiotherapy may support the expectant mother's own resources: strengthening immunity and supporting organ function. Any procedure during pregnancy should be agreed with the doctor.
