Interview | Physiorelax The second key point in our concept is that we try to make the place look and feel relaxing, because it is the mind and body that we are healing. Look around the place at the interior design, the quiet and serene atmosphere, the top class machines. We have created a space that feels spacious and pleasant. With clever interior designing and use of colours, this place gives you the feeling that you can breathe. The ambience and feel is comfortable and this is crucial for the treatment. We treat the psyche; treat the mind before the body. This is very crucial for anyone as they work to get back to their optimum performance. What made you look at Physiotherapy as a profession? After I graduated from medical school, I started thinking, ‘Is it medicine that we want or lifestyle that we want?’ People’s lifestyles change but they always want to maintain their bodies and stay fit and healthy. I felt I could do something to help people maintain that, enable them to be their best. I thought I could help my patients in a way other than just prescribing medicines or recommending surgery. Once I had decided, I started my studies and training first in Prague where I stayed for a while. After finishing my Master’s Degree I stayed on to complete my training. When I came back, I joined the government sector, working in Salmaniya Hospital. I opened my first clinic at Al Kindi Hospital where I started my private consultation. From there I expanded into the Spa and lifestyle field. My wife joined me in creating this place. She is actively involved and takes care of all the administrative side. What you see here today is the result of 17 years of experience. This is our baby. Who are the kinds of patients who come to you? Most of the patients that come are athletes but we also have a lot of older people - geriatrics, and also paediatrics. Other areas that attract a lot of attention are women’s health, especially postnatal, pre-natal. We also get patients with lifestyle injuries like desk and office work injuries - back pain, neck pain, muscle spasm, and people with knee injuries, knee osteoporosis. These are the kinds of patients who come to us. What are some of the modern methods that you use? We have the best equipment in Bahrain and we also made sure that our equipment is exclusive and not found anywhere else. We also use cryotherapy and ultrasound therapy together, with minus 6-degree sub-zero temperature. This helps reduce inflammations on your body instantly. When you use the regular ultrasound it takes 3 to 6 weeks to recover, but if you use it in a minus sub-zero temperature it takes 3-5 sessions only, so less than 3 weeks. Of course, all of these treatments are conducted by trained experts who take into consideration your overall physical condition before prescribing any course of treatment. What is cryotherapy? Cryotherapy is the local or general use of low temperatures to treat a variety of problems. Cryotherapy is widely used to relieve muscle pain, sprains and swelling either via soft tissue damage or postoperative swelling. It can be a range of treatments from the very low technology application of ice packs or immersion in ice baths or cold chambers with controlled temperature. Cryosurgery is the application of extreme cold to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue and is used most commonly to treat skin conditions. We have also the contrast therapy, where your body is put into a special suit, which can introduce heat and cold at the same time, so 1-minute heat, 1 minute cold. This is kind of like the old hot bath technique for body regeneration and rejuvenation. What is the usual prescribed treatment and duration? We prescribe every day treatment with around five sessions a week. For spine injuries, we now also have a special laser needle, which is introduced inside the joints through special applicators. This is better than using normal laser because it’s really focused and goes directly to the point of pain and ensures that it reaches the tissue inside. It doesn’t disperse and lose its effect along the way the way like the old laser treatments. We have also electromagnetic treatments, which is used for the joints where there is erosion or degeneration. While all these treatments are excellent I would say that our most elite treatment, which has given the best results, is our manual therapy. We do manipulation, chiropractic and osteopathy treatments, and deep tissue release. This is the best treatment we provide over and above all the equipment supported treatments. Our manual therapy superbly supports the other treatments and speeds up the healing process. 16 January-February <strong>2018</strong>
