Dr. Saurabh Giri offers sports physiotherapy and rehabilitation in Pune with individualized treatment based on your injury, activity levels, needs, and return to sport aspirations.
Walking and exercise after a sports injury, orthopedic surgery, joint problems, and muscle injuries can be challenging. Physiotherapy in Pune can help regain movement, strength, flexibility, and function during the recovery process. Certain patients are able to benefit from underwater treadmills, which is a low-impact method that makes exercise more comfortable for them.
An underwater treadmill is a specialized rehabilitation system that combines walking or jogging with the therapeutic benefits of water. Water buoyancy helps reduce the amount of body weight placed on the joints, while water resistance provides gentle support and additional resistance during movement.
Aquatic therapy and underwater treadmill rehabilitation can be incorporated into physiotherapy programs for selected patients with orthopedic conditions, sports injuries, and those recovering after surgery.
The reduced load on the joints allows patients to perform certain movements more comfortably, making it easier to progress through their rehabilitation under the guidance of a physiotherapist.
Water provides natural buoyancy to reduce stress on joints while its gentle resistance helps improve strength, mobility, balance, and confidence during rehabilitation exercises.
The underwater treadmill therapy can be thought of as one of the options within a physiotherapy and sports rehabilitation plan for patients having trouble with:
Injuries to knee joints make it hard for individuals to walk, run, or strengthen their bodies. Underwater treadmill therapy may help reduce the load to the knee joints and at the same time help patients walk in the water. The treatment can be incorporated in the physiotherapy programs for knee pain and sports injuries as the patient gradually adapts to weight-bearing exercises.
Sportsmen and women who have injured themselves may need a gradual process to recover fully and begin training again.
Exercises in the underwater treadmill can be used together with the sports physiotherapy in Pune to enhance strength, mobility, stamina, and movement.
Following certain operations, the patients may not be able to handle full weight-bearing exercises. Underwater treadmill therapy can be considered after the doctor considers it safe for the patient to begin moving gradually. The program of treatment is customized to suit the kind of surgery, stage of recovery, pain, strength, and weight-bearing restrictions of the patient.
Joint pain may affect the ability of a patient to walk and exercise. The buoyancy of the water will help to reduce the strain put on the joints during movement.
The use of underwater treadmill training may be incorporated into the treatment of gait disorders among select patients who find it difficult to walk normally. The buoyant effects of the water will enable the patient to walk in a controlled manner while strengthening various aspects such as strength, coordination, and balance.
If properly administered as a component of the rehabilitation process, aquatic treadmill training can provide a number of benefits such as:
The outcomes depend on a number of factors including the condition or the injury severity and rehabilitation stage.
In the process of using a hydro-treadmill, the individual walks or engages in other exercises while on the treadmill, which is located in a water-filled enclosure.
The amount of water in the enclosure may determine the amount of body weight that is exerted on the lower extremities of the body. With time, there can be modifications to the training program to increase the load, pace, resistance, workout time, or difficulty.
The water also serves as resistance to movement, thus enabling muscle activity with low impact on the body.
However, there is often a need for more than just pain relief from the injury. A good sports rehabilitation program should seek to bring back strength, mobility, endurance, coordination, confidence, and sports-specific performance.
Underwater Treadmill Training can be one part of the stepwise sports physiotherapy program. Depending on the type of injury, the rehabilitation process may include the following stages:
Dr. Saurabh Giri, a sports medicine doctor, follows an individualized approach to rehabilitation.
Following some orthopedic procedures, people may experience difficulties while doing regular weight-bearing activities. When medically advisable, aquatic rehab will help provide a safe place to exercise.
The timing of aquatic treadmill therapy depends on several issues, which include:
Type of surgery
People should start aquatic treadmill therapy only after proper medical advice.
Sports injuries can occur to any kind of athlete, whether recreational or professional athletes. Common injuries that might involve the knees, shoulders, ankles, hips, muscles, tendons, or ligaments could necessitate a rehabilitation program.
Sports physiotherapy in Pune is concerned with rehabilitating mobility and performance through exercises and rehabilitation programs.
Underwater treadmills can be used during rehabilitation in cases where a person is not ready for high-impact exercise such as walking and running.
Underwater treadmill therapy does not necessarily mean that physiotherapy should be substituted with it. This kind of therapy can be one of the parts of the entire rehabilitation process.
Depending on the patients' condition, the process of physiotherapy and rehabilitation can include:
The combination of underwater and land rehabilitation can be changed depending on the patients' rehabilitation process.
Rehabilitation requires more than just the use of one machine or exercise. In a rehabilitation protocol there can be included:
Dr. Saurabh Giri specializes in sports medicine, arthroscopy, orthopedics, sports injuries, and athlete rehabilitation. Dr. Giri tailors his rehabilitation program based on the type of injury, functional needs, lifestyle, and athletic goals of the patient.
The goal is to get the patient back to function and allow him to return to activity or sport without injury.
Physiotherapy patients in Pune who have suffered from injuries while playing any sports can opt for an all-in-one service package which involves diagnosis, sports injury treatment, rehabilitation, and planning for going back to sports.
Dr. Saurabh Giri is a specialist in MS Orthopaedics, holding a master’s degree in Sports Medicine from the University College London, and fellow in Arthroscopy and Adult Reconstructive Surgery. His practice includes sports injuries, orthopedics, rehabilitation, and performance care.
Treatment of the injury is based on the patient’s individual diagnosis, activity level, progress, and goals, rather than following one fixed rehabilitation plan.
Underwater treadmill exercise might be effective for selected patients experiencing joint pain as the buoyancy of the water can help decrease the loading on the joint during exercise. A medical evaluation should precede therapy.
Yes. Aquatic treadmill exercise can be used to rehabilitate selected sports injuries. This form of therapy can help patients slowly build their capacity for movement, strength, endurance, and weight bearing.
Underwater treadmill therapy can be used in selected physiotherapy and rehabilitation plans depending on the patient's medical status and objectives.
Depending on the kind of surgery and the status of your tissues' healing and weight-bearing capacity, underwater treadmill therapy can be used.
This form of therapy can be used to assist in selected gait training for patients having difficulties walking.
