Dermatofunctional Physiotherapy

Definition

Dermatofunctional Physiotherapy is a branch of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine that focuses on disorders arising from alterations in the functionality of the skin as a whole, but also of the glands and sensory receptors, treating them as a whole and trying to restore not only aesthetics, but also and above all function, thus improving patients’ well-being and quality of life.

This multidisciplinary approach involves nutritionists, psychologists, physical medicine and rehabilitation doctors, endocrinologists, oncologists, dermatologists, general surgeons and reconstructive plastic surgeons.

 


 

It seeks to correct dysfunctions and rehabilitate patients limited by unfavourable clinical conditions, using resources that function non-invasively, improving patients’ quality of life.

Dermatofunctional Physiotherapy can be divided into two main areas:

AESTHETIC THERAPY:
Skin ageing (wrinkles, spots, devitalised skin)
■ Cellulite
Stretch marks
Localised fat deposits
Acne
Sagging (dermal and muscular)
Lymphatic and/or venous oedema
Preoperative
(to ensure greater hydration and better circulation, as well as toning muscles, resulting in greater metabolic exchange to reduce the effects of surgery)
Postoperative (to reduce oedema and pain, increase oxygenation of affected tissues)

REPAIR THERAPY:
Oncology
Obesity and metabolic syndromes
Scars
Burns
Ulcers
Wounds
Tissue necrosis

endermologie® sessions

The techniques used by dermatofunctional physiotherapists are divided into: physical therapies, manual therapies and therapeutic exercises.

Medical endermologie® sessions can be part of this multidisciplinary approach, helping to treat many of the indications for Dermatofunctional Physiotherapy:

 For aesthetic purposes: cellulite, skin ageing, localised fat, sagging, pre- and post-cosmetic surgery, post-pregnancy reshaping…

■ For therapeutic purposes: pain, all types of scars (recent or old, surgical or traumatic, burn scars even after skin grafts, post-caesarean scars, post-mastectomy scars, etc.), fibrosis, adhesions, lymphoedema, lymphatic and/or venous oedema, pre- and post-surgery of all types (obesity, oncology, orthopaedics, etc.).
