📢 Polio Awareness & Role of Physiotherapy
Polio (Poliomyelitis) is a viral disease that can lead to muscle weakness, paralysis, joint deformities, and mobility issues. Even though vaccination has reduced its spread worldwide, many survivors still face long-term physical challenges.
💡 Did you know?
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in improving mobility, reducing muscle stiffness, strengthening weak muscles, and enhancing independence in polio-affected patients.
✅ How Physiotherapy Helps in Polio Cases
🔹 Muscle Strengthening: Specific exercises target weak muscles to restore function.
🔹 Stretching & Mobility: Prevents joint stiffness and contractures.
🔹 Assistive Training: Helps patients walk with support, braces, or mobility aids.
🔹 Balance & Coordination: Improves stability and reduces fall risk.
🔹 Independence in Daily Life: Enhances quality of life by promoting self-care activities.
🌍 Together, through awareness, vaccination, and physiotherapy care, we can help polio survivors live a more active and pain-free life.
👉 If you or your loved one is a polio survivor, don’t ignore treatment — physiotherapy can make a life-changing difference!
