Physiotherapy for chronic conditions

Do you suffer from chronic complaints? Persistent complaints call for a different approach. At Fysico Rotterdam we help you move better, reduce your complaints and improve your daily functioning for the long term.

What are chronic complaints?

Chronic complaints are complaints that last a long time or keep coming back. Think of chronic pain, or chronic conditions such as COPD (a long-term lung disease), cardiovascular disease, rheumatism and osteoarthritis.

These complaints often affect your energy, load capacity and daily activities.

Our physiotherapists guide you in dealing with these chronic complaints and help you keep using your body as well as possible.

When can physiotherapy help you?

Physiotherapy for chronic complaints focuses on improving your physical capacity and increasing your load capacity.

You can come to us for, among other things:

  • Chronic pain
  • Fatigue and loss of fitness
  • Limitations in everyday movement
  • Breathing problems, for example with COPD
  • Reduced muscle strength
  • Chronic conditions such as rheumatism, osteoarthritis or cardiovascular disease

With targeted exercise therapy and personal guidance, we work on improving your daily functioning.

Results and recovery with chronic complaints

With chronic complaints, it is important that treatment fits in with your daily life.

That's why we help you with:

  • improving your fitness
  • reducing your complaints
  • spreading your energy better
  • staying independent

We also pay attention to preventing setbacks, so you keep making progress in the long term.

How we work at Fysico Rotterdam

We start with an extensive intake in which we carefully map out your complaints, followed by a physical examination. Based on this, we draw up a personal treatment plan tailored to your complaints, load capacity and goals.

Treatment may include:

  • Exercise therapy focused on strength and fitness
  • Breathing exercises
  • Guidance in building up your load capacity
  • Advice on exercise and managing your energy
  • Support with self-management

We look not only at the complaint, but at your overall situation. That's how we work together towards lasting recovery.
