Kinesiotherapy in Kyiv

Kinesiotherapy (also spelled kinesitherapy) is a branch of medicine that supports recovery after injuries, illnesses, and surgery through physical exercises, including those performed on special equipment, targeting different muscle groups and suited to specific pathological conditions.

It is mainly used to improve the health of the musculoskeletal system, but in some cases kinesiotherapy is also used to lower the risk of thromboembolism, respiratory problems, pressure sores, contractures, and so on, and to maintain the patient's overall physical capacity.

(This treatment through movement ("kinesis" means movement and "therapy" means treatment) used to be called therapeutic physical training, or exercise therapy.)

A consultation with a kinesiotherapist in Kyiv at the multidisciplinary CSM Clinic (followed by a course of treatment) can provide quality help in restoring joint function, strengthening the deep muscles of the back and spine, and improving the body's ability to adapt to everyday physical loads. In addition to the kinesiotherapist's help, at our full-cycle medical center you can have quality diagnostics on expert-class equipment and, if needed, treatment by narrow-profile specialists.

What kinesiotherapy includes and how it may help

Specialists usually divide kinesiotherapy into two types: active and passive. In active kinesiotherapy, the person performs the movements independently (walking, running, breathing exercises, and so on). In passive kinesiotherapy, the movements are performed with the help of a specialist (massage, movements using special exercise machines and devices, osteopathy, and so on).

The therapeutic effect is based on a personalized therapy program aimed at stimulating the body's natural internal reserves, which helps restore its functions.

When creating a personalized program, the kinesiotherapist takes into account:

Questions and Answers

How can kinesiotherapy help with joint pain?

The main causes of joint pain are insufficiency of the ligamentous apparatus and muscle weakness, which lead to excess load on the joints, as well as joint stiffness. Kinesiotherapy, in turn, may strengthen the muscles, bring them to proper tone, strengthen the muscle corset, and stretch the muscles; it may also normalize blood flow to the joint and activate regeneration processes, which may shorten the rehabilitation period after conservative and surgical treatment.

What exercises can be done for joint pain?

If there is an inflammatory process and joint pain, any exercises are strictly prohibited without a specialist's recommendation.

What is hydrokinesiotherapy?

Hydrokinesiotherapy is a method of physiotherapy that combines therapeutic exercise with water therapy. It is used in rehabilitation after injuries and surgical treatment in patients of different ages (both children and adults).

Which exercises are good for the joints?

The set of useful exercises depends on which group of joints it targets, as well as on the patient's age and the severity of the problems. But in any therapeutic exercise for the joints, certain recommendations should be followed. Among them: warming up the muscles before exercising, stretching, no sudden movements during exercises, an equal load on both joints, stopping the session if pain appears during movement, and observing proper exercise technique. Some specialists also advise against using bandages and braces (but opinions differ here).
