What is Physiotherapy at Vitalica Wellness?

This week at Vitalica Wellness Bodrum, we wanted to give you some details about our treatment sessions in the field of physiotherapy, which is an important part of physical health. We would like to start with the Vitalica Wellness Physiotherapy Ritual, which is undoubtedly the treatment session we use the most. In addition to this, we recommend you to try our different therapies, all of which provide a definitive solution for our guests' different complaints in their bodies.

Vitalica Wellness Physiotherapy Ritual

It is an application in which multiple therapy contents are included so that the mind and body can work together without interruption of energy. Vitalica Wellnes physical therapy ritual starts with myofascial stretching (stretching the muscle at the right angle) to the leg and thigh muscles, if needed. Then, it is aimed to relax the muscles in the entire back area with connective tissue massage. If necessary, dry needle therapy, cupping massage and graston technique are used for this relaxation. It is completed manually without the use of devices. Craniosacral therapy is also included in the session, especially to eliminate the blockage in the neck joints and to provide mental relaxation and complete well-being.

Dry Needle Treatment

Dry needle therapy (IMS) stands for "Intramuscular Stimulation" and is a medical treatment method used to treat conditions such as muscle pain, muscle spasms and musculoskeletal problems. In this method, thin, sterile needles without any medication at the tip are inserted into the muscles in certain parts of the body. IMS basically aims to relieve pain and reduce tension in the muscles.

Cup Therapy

The treatment performed by applying only cupping without bloodletting is also called dry cupping or cupping treatment. It is based on the principle that the cups create a vacuum effect on the skin and increase the blood flow in the area to a high level. Thus, the amount of oxygen and blood in the tissues is increased, while the excretion of toxins and carbon dioxide through the lymph is accelerated. When our body needs an effective purification, cupping creates a unique detox effect. While strengthening the immune system, it also provides detoxification for alcohol and cigarette smokers. Cupping is an effective treatment method against the feeling of malaise and headaches that occur in the body with the cold problem that haunts us during the winter months.

Electrotherap

In electrotherapy, TENS current is planned to eliminate pain by using low, high voltage electric current. In addition, stimulation and acceleration of nerve healing with Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in tissues with nerve damage is among the areas of use of electrotherapy. It reduces edema and increases blood circulation in the areas where electric current is applied. It is an effective treatment method for point weights.

Kinesiotape (Taping) Treatment

Kinesiotape aims to improve pain and sports injuries without limiting joint movements. The adhesion of the tapes to the areas of the body determined by the physiotherapist supports blood circulation and lymph circulation and thus paves the way for the blood to be evenly distributed throughout the body without causing any pain or swelling. These tapes, which also facilitate the performance of exercises, do not contain any side effects.

Vacuum Therapy

Vacuum interferential current is particularly used to manage chronic pain conditions, increase muscle strength and flexibility and improve neuromuscular function. Interferential currents, created by the intersection of two different frequency currents, can penetrate deeper into the affected area with the support of vacuum. This increases blood flow to the treated area, encourages cell regeneration and reduces responses such as inflammation. Vacuum interferential current is also an effective method to accelerate lymph drainage and reduce edema. It is a treatment method that accompanies detox programs to reduce edema in the body.

Graston Treatment

The Graston Technique is a form of manual therapy known as instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. Graston massage is performed using titanium-coated steel rods specially designed for different parts of the body. It is one of several manual therapy approaches that gently scrape the skin. The aim is to provide soft tissue mobilization. It can be applied to individuals of all ages and is mostly used in sports massage. The basis of the application is to activate the body's self-healing mechanism.

Orthopedic Manual Therapy

Orthopedic Manipulative Physiotherapy, also known as manual therapy. In this method where only the hands are used, the physiotherapist, who is an expert in the field, performs regular sessions. Manual therapy is mainly used to eliminate blockages in the joints. The aim is to ensure joint mobility and painless movement as well as better circulation within the joint.

With the removal of blockages (restrictions), the spine regains its normal mobility. It is mainly used for joint pain such as knee, elbow, hip, wrist, cervical and lumbar disc herniation, slipped back, spinal cord collapse, scoliosis, myofascial problems, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), muscle pain and spasms.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is a method in which the therapist controls the 'cranial rhythm' in the body, applying gentle pressure and massage therapy to specific points in the area from the coccyx to the skull. Craniosacral Therapy helps the mobility and balance of intracorporeal fluid and eliminates negative effects on the central nervous system. It is one of the most effective therapies in controlling migraine and similar headaches, coping with stress, depression, anxiety and emotional problems, and resolving neck joint limitations. Through CST, the person undergoing therapy integrates with himself/herself and gets away from stress and pain. Body balance is achieved, the immune system is strengthened, and the unity of mind, body and soul is ensured. Together with our detox programs that we do not apply at Vitalica Wellness, it is one of the treatment methods that best support the immune system.

Clinical Reformer Pilates

Clinical Pilates is a set of personalized exercises applied to correct and protect the spinal health of the person, to protect and treat diseases related to the musculoskeletal system (spinal problems such as scoliosis and kyphosis, muscle spasms, fibromyalgia, lumbar and cervical hernias, frozen shoulder, shoulder joint, muscle and tendon injuries, knee problems such as meniscus, anterior cruciate ligament injury, hip problems, etc.).

Although Pilates is known as exercises for tightening, in fact, clinical Pilates, which is practiced under the guidance of an expert physiotherapist, is a set of personalized exercises that are of great importance in the treatment of many disorders ranging from posture disorders, joint pain, chronic back, neck and back pain, many internal organ problems associated with posture disorders, diseases that cause respiratory distress (asthma, etc.). The program is prepared 2 or 3 times a week according to the needs of the individual.

Respiratory Rehabilitation

Respiratory physiotherapy contributes to the excretion of newly developing or chronic secretions, increasing the ventilation and oxygenation of the lungs and improving the early respiratory capacity of patients undergoing major surgery.

In addition to ensuring adequate daily fluid intake and airway humidification of individuals; respiratory exercises selected according to their needs, manual applications and mobilization techniques applied to the rib cage, posture exercises, various exercise materials and assistive devices when necessary, and effective coughing techniques are used. It aims to increase functional lung capacity and regulate quality of life in people who have had Covid, have shortness of breath, smoked or continue to smoke. It is a treatment method that all our guests who receive the Post Covid detox program must experience.

Pelvic Floor Therapy

It is a special therapy method that is called stress incontinence and is performed in cases of urinary incontinence with physical strain such as sneezing, exercise, emergency urination and urinary incontinence, mixed incontinence cases with both types of urinary incontinence, chronic pelvic pain, painful menstruation and painful sexual intercourse, sometimes using exercises and devices to eliminate pelvic dysfunctions.
