Medicofit
Management of degenerative and chronic conditions is a special discipline of kinesiology at Medicofit clinic, which involves a balanced, precisely measured progression of correctly selected training techniques that do not place load on the joints and meet the goal of improving muscle function. The goal of the programme is to reduce risks and slow the progression of chronic conditions.
Chronic and degenerative conditions are accompanied by a prognosis of declining function and a gradual increase in the intensity of symptoms.
Typical conditions in orthopaedics are wear and tear of joint surfaces, various forms of arthritis, and age-related diseases.
Management of chronic conditions is based on a detailed analysis of the patient’s functional status within the framework of diagnostic therapy.
After the first consultation, we perform acute treatment, which helps the patient learn about the therapeutic programme and builds trust.
We achieve high treatment success by combining advanced technology that reduces inflammation and accelerates healing, with training techniques that are specially selected for each chronic-degenerative disease.
Patients trust us because of we precisely monitor and perform measurements of their condition, and also because of our friendly staff of experts who build long-term personal relationships with each patient.
Medicofit clinic is a suitable choice for patients who personally highly value professionally focused rehabilitation, an individual approach, and long-term solutions.
Many conditions do not require consistent physiotherapy treatment, but due to the degree of damage to the joint structures, constant maintenance of local muscle load-bearing capacities is necessary, ensuring active stability of the joints and reducing the stress on cartilage surfaces.
The foundation of the programme’s success is the precise dosing of the load on appropriate muscle groups in a way that maintains low mechanical load on the joint and sufficient stimulus for activation and improvement of muscle tissue.
The exercises are carefully selected – the process involves specialising the exercises based on several factors:
The course of previous treatment in our clinic, symptomatic movement patterns, clinical picture, associated risk factors, and identified muscle dysfunctions..
Common conditions that we treat as part of the maintenance of degenerative conditions are inflammation of the joint membranes (synovitis), patellofemoral pain syndrome, hip impingement, degenerative changes in the spine, progressive disc herniation, spinal stenosis, chronic neck pain, arthrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, hip wear, knee wear, progressive tendinopathy (jumper’s knee, Achilles tendinitis, quadriceps tendinopathy), and others.
Grade 3 or 4 cartilage wear of the articular surfaces of the hip, shoulder, and knee joints are the most common degenerative conditions that can we successfully maintain with special training.
Often, the cause of an intense symptomatic joint reaction is not direct cartilage wear, but a progressive decline in muscle function, which can be both a cause and a consequence of degenerative conditions.
By improving the functional capacity of the muscles, we relieve the load on joint surfaces and reduce the intensity of symptoms despite the existing degenerations.
In the management of chronic pain and degenerative conditions, success is highly individualised depending on the patient.
Even advanced joint wear can be maintained with relatively low symptoms if muscle function is well developed, but it is equally common for the initial stages of joint wear to cause more severe symptoms in the event of poor muscle function.
We achieve changes in your body in a safe way, build for the long term, and improve your fitness and health.
