What is physiotherapy and how can it help you?

Physiotherapy is a structured path toward regaining mobility, reducing pain, and restoring confidence in your own body.

We believe that effective recovery relies on a team of specialists, state-of-the-art equipment, and a relaxing environment where every minute counts for your progress. From athletes aiming to get back on the field to individuals seeking relief from lower back pain, our solutions adapt to your reality—not to a generic pattern.

What does physiotherapy mean and why is it important?

Physiotherapy is a branch of medicine that uses physical agents (electric current, magnetic fields, ultrasound, laser, and heat) to relieve pain, relax muscles, and accelerate tissue healing.

Through these methods, therapy addresses neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and respiratory conditions. The results translate into:

• reduced inflammation and muscle contractures;

• increased joint range of motion and muscle strength;

• shorter recovery time after injuries or surgeries;

• improved circulation and respiratory capacity.

For maximum effectiveness, an initial medical evaluation is required. At Orhideea Spa, the consultation is carried out by a specialist in rehabilitation medicine.

During the evaluation, the doctor reviews recent lab tests and imaging results, and identifies contraindications to personalize your treatment plan.

Physiotherapy is not just a list of procedures, but a therapeutic journey tailored to your diagnosis, functional goals, and lifestyle.

Physiotherapy or kinesitherapy: how to choose the right one?

The two disciplines are complementary but not identical:

The recovery plan often begins with physiotherapy to control pain and continues with kinesitherapy to retrain movement. Our article explores in detail the differences between physiotherapy and kinesitherapy. Consult our specialist to determine the best sequence—especially if you’re dealing with a herniated disc, osteoarthritis, or post-operative recovery.

Physiotherapy procedures available at Orhideea Spa

We use state-of-the-art equipment, so your treatment protocol may include one or more of the following:

• Electrotherapy: diadynamic currents, TENS, interferential currents for rapid pain relief

• Electrostimulation: electrically induced muscle contraction, useful in atrophies or after immobilization

• Deep Oscillation: deep electrostatic oscillations, ideal for lymphatic drainage and edema

• Therapeutic ultrasound: deep tissue heating, with optional phonophoresis

• Laser therapy: speeds up cell regeneration and reduces swelling

• Magnetotherapy: promotes vasodilation and has an anti-inflammatory effect without pain

• Thermotherapy: paraffin or infrared for relaxation and detoxification

All these physiotherapy procedures are flexibly integrated according to medical indications, and there is no limit on how many can be included in a single session. The calming atmosphere of the spa supports relaxation, turning therapy into a complete experience—not just a medical act.
