Physical Rehabilitation in Bogotá, Colombia

Which specialist handles physical rehabilitation?

A physiatrist (physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor) assesses the case and designs the plan. The physical therapist carries it out with specific exercises and techniques, and the occupational therapist helps restore independence in daily activities. Depending on the cause, an orthopedic surgeon or neurologist may also be involved. Music therapy can support recovery by using rhythm to improve walking and keep motivation up.

When is it needed?

After surgery, a fracture or a sports injury, after a stroke or other neurological injury, for chronic back or joint pain, and when mobility is lost due to aging or a long hospital stay.

What does treatment include?

Therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, physical agents such as heat, cold or electrotherapy, gait and balance training, and exercises to do at home. Consistency between sessions is key to recovery.
