Many hours at work, stress and a bad posture are some of the causes of the annoying back pains, that, unfortunately, affects every day more people in our society. Luckily, there are some heroes called physical therapist who will save your day with their hands.

Pyshical therapy is about to cure different body pains through massage movements with different intensity, speed, and rhythm. It is an increasingly used practice as it is less invasive, costly and painful than other traditional methods. In this kind of therapy all responsibility falls to the hands of the psychiatrist, then, how to choose the best one?

Choose someone who inspires confidence

This technique is quite intimate and has a lot of skin-to-skin contact. Nudity can be an element of modesty for many people and to achieve a good treatment it is necessary for the patient to feel comfortable. That is why it is important that you put yourself in the hands of someone who makes you feel comfortable, that inspires confidence and who you can relax with. Follow your intuition to choose your therapist and it would be better if you get some recommendations from someone close to who was already been attended by this therapist.

Choose someone who has a trustworthy background.

Try to find a therapist who has a wide professional training. Ideally, if she or he has a certification to perform manipulations such as Ciriax, lymphatic drainage or muscular stretches that will be very useful for athletes. Everything beside the professional degree of course.

Forget about devices

Physical therapy is precisely about a technique of hand massage with hands. This is why we recommend that you choose a therapist who only use her o his hands and not too many devices that you probably will not know.

Choose someone who combines strength, technique and relaxation

Choose a therapist who combines smooth and superficial manoeuvres with other, deeper, and more intense massage techniques. A good therapist will be able to combine different techniques to obtain the best results and heal your pain.

Choose a suitable environment

Be careful when you choose the place where are you going to be attended. Ideally with no outside noise, with a faint light, relaxing music, and good smell. This will help you to relax and achieve better results in your treatment.

Let them know your needs and concerns

Your therapist must know all your needs. From your body pains to your preferences as to technique, light or even if you do not want to talk during the massage.

For this, trust is key. Take care to choose someone who inspires confidence and better if you have recommendations, this will be the only way you can relax, disconnect, and heal your discomfort.
