It is common to consider physiotheraphy as
rehab. It is not the same thing. In
rehabilitation a physical, psychic, social
and resource recuperation takes place. This
means that a sick person gets well in all
aspects.
Physiotheraphy only attends the physical
aspect. It is not multidisciplinary as a
rehabilitation. You can say that it is part
of rehabilitation, but not all the process.
In the process of rehabilitation, besides
the physiotherapist, a specialist
intervenes.
On
the other side , we must also add that
physiotheraphy also includes prevention,
besides recuperation.
The osteopathy or
osteopathic medicine is a pseudos medical
practice Developer by Andrew Taylor Still,
not recognized in some places, not even by
medical science, based on the theory that
many diseases are due to a loss of
structural integrity. They use a broad
range of techniques(short and long termed
impulses, functional techniques, etc) to
develop a harmony and the equilibrium that
has prevented or interfered with the
rehabilitation. This is why its considered
more of a holistic practice.
In a beginning, its
approach was primarily bone structure, but
during the past century, the osteopathy has
embraced the complete spectrum of medicine
which includes the use of prescription
medicine, surgery, manipulative techniques,
functional techniques and bone structure
techniques.
