Rehabilitation Medicine and Physical Therapy Department

The Rehabilitation Medicine and Physical Therapy Department at Bang Phai Hospital provides patient care services through specialized physiotherapists who offer accurate diagnosis and deliver physical therapy services following professional principles. The department focuses on restoring and improving patients' physical function and mobility.

The services provided include:

Manual Therapy: Physiotherapists utilize manual therapy techniques to manipulate and adjust the structures of joints, bones, muscles, and nerves to a position suitable for treatment and use. These techniques require a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology. Manual therapy aims to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and enhance overall physical function.
Exercise Prescription: Physiotherapists design individualized exercise programs tailored to the specific needs and conditions of each patient. These exercises target specific muscle groups, joints, or functional movements to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance. Exercise therapy plays a crucial role in rehabilitation and recovery from injuries or physical impairments.
Electrotherapy: The department may utilize electrotherapy modalities, such as electrical stimulation, ultrasound therapy, or heat therapy, to complement manual therapy and exercise programs. These modalities help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue healing.
Assistive Devices and Equipment: Physiotherapists may assess the need for and prescribe appropriate assistive devices or equipment, such as crutches, walkers, or orthotic braces, to aid in mobility and support during the rehabilitation process.
Education and Home Exercise Programs: Physiotherapists provide education to patients regarding their condition, proper body mechanics, and techniques for self-management and injury prevention. They may also design home exercise programs to be continued outside of the hospital or clinic setting to maintain progress and facilitate long-term recovery.

The Rehabilitation Medicine and Physical Therapy Department at Bang Phai Hospital aims to help patients regain optimal physical function, reduce pain, and improve their quality of life. Physiotherapists work closely with patients, assessing their individual needs, setting treatment goals, and monitoring progress throughout the rehabilitation process. The department emphasizes personalized care, evidence-based practice, and patient empowerment in achieving optimal physical health and well-being.
