Endurance is a critical component of fitness. It takes dedication and time to improve your endurance levels, whether running a marathon or doing weight training.
Physiotherapists are trained to help you become more active and manage pain and illness. They also help you stay healthy by providing wellness-centred programs.
Physiotherapy
A physiotherapist can help you stay healthy by preventing future diseases and strengthening your immune system. They will recommend wellness-centred programs that are tailored to your needs and goals. These include improving muscular strength, normalising blood flow, reducing inflammation, and restoring movement. They can also help you recover from injuries. In addition, they can treat conditions such as acid reflux and cerebral palsy. For professional Inertia-Health-Group NDIS podiatry Adelaide services, check this out!
Physiotherapy is a medical treatment that involves a combination of massage, exercise and other physical manipulations. It can also involve electrical stimulation, laser therapy, manual resistance training and balance exercises. It treats various conditions, including back pain, sprains and strains, neck problems and sports injuries. It can also improve balance and reduce the risk of falls in people with dizziness or vertigo.
Flexibility training is another essential component of physiotherapy. It stretches muscles until they are lithe and limber. It helps reduce the risk of injury, as flexible muscles and joints are less likely to be placed in positions that exceed their range of motion. Flexibility also reduces the time it takes muscles to recover from exercise, as they are less tense.
A physiotherapist can help you return to your daily life and reduce the discomfort caused by injuries. They can provide tips to avoid re-injury and perform exercises to speed up your recovery. They can also recommend equipment that you can use at home. Moreover, they can offer you advice on nutrition and diet.
Podiatry
Podiatrists are foot doctors who have specific training in the feet and ankles. They can help you with various problems, including sprains, injuries, and ingrown toenails. They can also advise you on how to maintain the health of your feet and ankles, which includes proper foot hygiene, footwear and how to identify early symptoms of problems.
The profession adopted podiatry in the late 19th century, replacing the older term chiropody, which has its roots in Greek. The change reflects that podiatry is now seen as part of modern medical care rather than an unofficial specialisation performed by some physicians.

During an initial consultation, the podiatrist will assess your symptoms and physically examine your feet and ankles. It will include asking you to stand and walk and may involve imaging tests such as x-rays, ultrasound or CT scan. Your podiatrist will then recommend a treatment plan, including a combination of treatments.
Australian podiatrists complete an undergraduate degree ranging from 3 to 4 years of study, with the first two years focusing on biomedical science subjects such as functional anatomy, microbiology, biochemistry, physiology and pathology. The final two years of the podiatry degree are spent completing podiatry-specific modules, which include human gait analysis, podiatric orthopaedics (the non-surgical management of podo-abnormalities), podopaediatrics and podiatric pharmacology.
After completing surgical training with a podiatric surgeon, rotating within other medical and surgical disciplines, undergoing several overseas clinical rotations, and passing oral and written exams, a podiatrist can become a ‘Registrar’ with the Australasian College of Podiatric Surgeons. It gives them Commonwealth accreditation under the health insurance rebate scheme and enables them to practice podiatric surgery.
