Elinos Petrou Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Center focuses on helping people with orthopedic and musculoskeletal problems, such as injuries to bones, joints, muscles, and tendons.

Physiotherapy & rehabilitation are not the same thing, but they are often combined. Through physical therapy, we improve the movement and functions of the patient, using natural methods, such as heat, cold, manipulation techniques (manual therapy), therapeutic exercise, but also often with the use of machines, such as ultrasound, laser, electrotherapy and others . The purpose of physical therapy is to improve the patient’s mobility and functions. Rehabilitation aims to improve a patient’s health as much as possible after an injury, surgery or illness. Many times other health professionals, such as occupational therapists, speech therapists and psychologists, need to participate in the therapy.

Physical therapy has many specializations, one of which is neurological physical therapy. This focuses on people with central and peripheral nervous system disorders. Some conditions included are Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, strokes, myelopathy, and more.
