Prevention or cure?! The choice is yours! 1Профилактиката е по-добрата алтернатива от лечението

For many people, seeing a physiotherapist without having a complaint is pointless. This is the most prevalent mindset. We agree somewhat with this statement, but as physiotherapists we see many people in our practice whose ailments and chronic complaints are the result of everyday small mistakes and could be avoided with proper and timely prevention.

Don't ignore the stiff muscles, the slight soreness and the little injuries!

These kinds of problems often go unnoticed for a long period of time and are not in themselves anything special or pathological. They can be the simplest things such as: poor movement habits, incorrect technique of performing everyday tasks, but they can also be more specific such as: limitation of the range of motion in a joint, or severe tension in certain muscles. These seemingly trivial things can create big problems later on - limitation or loss of various functions. In these cases, prevention is the best, quickest, easiest and cheapest solution!

Listen to your body!
