OPTOHM HEALTH NEWS Physiotherapy in a Changing Health Care Environment By Laura Mahoney, B.Sc., P.T., M.C.P.A. Changes in the health care system are in evidence all around us. Hospitals are closing, merging, or "changing" in an effort to contain costs. Providers are strongly encouraged to shift the focus from inpatient "care" to outpatient "service". This is a good thing. It makes the public responsible, at least in part, for their own well-being. Physiotherapy can play an important partnership role in a person's recovery. Physiotherapists (PTs) have a fairly wide scope of practice in which they assess and treat a variety of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory deficits. PTs help restore range of motion to affected joints and improve muscular strength and function. They may use modalities such as ice, heat, interferential current therapy, and ultrasound to achieve these goals, as well as to help decrease pain. Often, the ultimate goal of physiotherapy treatment is reintegration into work, home, and recreational activities. PTs have the ability to diagnose biomechanic dysfunctions which can result in abnormal movement patterns. They assess the affected body part, and how it impacts on the body's overall function. PTs work with the client to develop an exercise program to help normalize the way that the body moves. Physiotherapy services are covered by many extended health care plans, Workers' Compensation, and Motor Vehicle insurers.
