OMT Physiotherapy Rovaniemi - holistic treatment of symptoms
OMT physiotherapy at Comeback Physio in Rovaniemi focuses on the holistic treatment of joint, muscle, nerve and trunk problems. Our OMT physiotherapist will examine your situation thoroughly and always treat the cause of the symptom, not just the symptom.
An OMT physiotherapist treats the root causes of pain
Our bodies can experience a variety of pains and dysfunctions caused by problems with joints, muscles, nerves or muscle membranes, for example. Orthopaedic manual therapy (OMT) is an effective treatment that looks at the body as a whole and aims to identify the underlying causes of symptoms. Often pain can be reflected or caused by parts of the body other than where the symptom is felt. The aim of OMT physiotherapy is to restore balance, improve mobility and support functional control so that the body can move as naturally and painlessly as possible.
-
How is OMT physiotherapy different from regular physiotherapy?
OMT physiotherapists are physiotherapists with a broader specialised training, which enables them to focus more on the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases and disorders. OMT physiotherapy is suited to more challenging body problems because it involves more detailed background research and a wider range of treatment techniques, such as joint mobilisation, manipulation and movement control correction.
-
What kind of conditions does OMT physiotherapy help?
OMT physiotherapy can be used by people with musculoskeletal pain or dysfunction for which traditional physiotherapy, focusing on exercise and muscle maintenance, has not found a solution. OMT physiotherapy is therefore effective in treating chronic long-term pain, but is also suitable for acute pain.
-
What kind of treatment methods are used in OMT physiotherapy?
OMT physiotherapy can include joint mobilisation and manipulation, fascia, muscle and nerve tissue treatments, and therapeutic exercise. The aim of treatment is to relieve pain, improve movement control and prevent relapse.
At your first visit, you will be given a detailed examination to assess your situation in depth. On the basis of this examination, a personalised treatment plan will be drawn up for you by a professional, which may include manual treatments, exercises and instructions.
-
Do I need a referral for OMT physiotherapy?
You don’t need a referral for OMT physiotherapy if you come privately. You can book an appointment directly without a referral. If the physiotherapy is reimbursed by, for example, occupational health, insurance or Kela, the referral can be agreed separately according to the practices of the service provider and the payer.
What symptoms OMT physiotherapy helps with
This is how physiotherapy progresses during your appointment
1
Initial mapping and discussion
The intake starts with a comprehensive initial assessment, where we go through the client’s symptoms, health history and possible functional capacity challenges. We will also discuss work, leisure and everyday stress factors to get a full picture of your situation. The aim is to understand the background to your symptoms and find the right approach to treatment for you.
2
Examining the symptoms
After the discussion, we will examine the symptoms in more detail using physiotherapeutic methods. For example, we assess muscle strength, mobility, body control and possible areas of pain. If necessary, we will carry out more detailed functional tests. The examination provides the basis for building an individual treatment and exercise programme.
3
Treatment and rehabilitation plan
Based on the tests, we will draw up a personalised treatment and rehabilitation plan for you. The plan may include therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, ergonomic guidance and concrete ways to alleviate symptoms and improve your ability to function. All interventions are based on your goals and your life situation.
4
Follow-up and further guidance
Physiotherapy does not end at the first visit. We will monitor your progress and adapt your treatment as necessary. You will also receive clear follow-up instructions for self-training and support for everyday activities. The aim is to achieve lasting results and strengthen your independent well-being.
