Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy aims to help patients to fully recover their movements after a fall, surgery or illness that has affected their musculoskeletal system and improve their life quality.
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is a medical field that encompasses adequate and complete rehabilitation programs, being physiotherapy one of them. Physiotherapists help patients improve their mobility and educate them to prevent future injuries.
Throughout their lives, everyone can benefit from physiotherapy treatments. Physiotherapists most commonly treat people who suffered from a bad fall, a work accident, had a surgery, suffer from back pain, among others. Physiotherapy is also an important component in the rehabilitation of those who had a stroke or have Parkinson’s disease, when it is important to restore the patient’s independence and improve mobility.

Portugal is a great destination for physical therapy and rehabilitation treatments not only for the expertise and knowledge of Portuguese physiotherapists, but also because it’s proven that recovering in a sunny weather is more effective.
According to Harvard Health soaking up in the sun in order to absorb vitamin D is important for the bones and the overall health. “Vitamin D’s best-known role is to keep bones healthy by increasing the intestinal absorption of calcium. Low levels of vitamin D lead to low bone calcium stores, increasing the risk of fractures. As bone calcium density falls, bones become weak and fracture-prone. Most studies show that a lack of vitamin D increases the risk of osteoporosis and the likelihood of hip and other nonspinal fractures.”
World Health Organization stresses, the sun's rays provide warmth and light that enhance your general feeling of well being and stimulate blood circulation. UV radiation is essential to the body as it stimulates the production of vitamin D. Vitamin D has an important function in increasing calcium and phosphorus absorption from food and plays a crucial role in skeletal development, immune function and blood cell formation.
