Kinetotherapy
Kinesiology therapy is defined as movement therapy based on exercises using a range of techniques and methods, depending on the patient and the pathology. It is also known as medical gymnastics or rehabilitation gymnastics and involves a set of programmes, techniques and principles that address the human body for prophylactic, therapeutic, rehabilitative and compensatory purposes.
The main objectives of physiotherapy are:
-Restoring joint and muscle mobility.
-Inducing muscle relaxation is essential to improve control over body functions and to correct involuntary movements (occurring as a symptom of disease or as a result of trauma).
-Reeducation of sensitivity with physical exercises that increase reactions to stimuli.
-Correcting the posture in the chair, as well as while walking, through muscle toning exercises and realignment of body parts (arms, legs, torso, back).
-Education and re-education of coordination, control and balance by improving reflexes.
-Respiratory retraining to allow muscle relaxation.
-Improved muscular strength and endurance
