PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is not limited to emotional responses. It often presents through physical symptoms that may include:
These responses can continue long after the triggering event, affecting movement patterns, posture, and daily physical comfort.
Physiotherapy-based support focuses on how the body responds to stress signals and how those patterns can be addressed through structured care sessions.
At Therapointe Physiotherapy, PTSD-related care is focused on helping individuals understand how trauma impacts the body and movement system. Sessions may include structured physical techniques aimed at reducing muscle guarding and supporting nervous system balance.
Care is planned based on individual presentation, with attention to physical symptoms that often accompany PTSD.
Each session begins with a detailed review of movement patterns, posture, and muscle activity. Many individuals with PTSD develop protective body responses such as stiffness or restricted movement. Identifying these patterns helps guide further care steps.
Breathing patterns can change significantly in individuals dealing with trauma responses. Sessions may include structured breathing exercises to improve control during moments of stress and reduce physical tension buildup.
Muscle tightness is commonly reported in PTSD cases. Focused manual work and guided movement routines may be used to address stiffness in key areas such as the shoulders, spine, and hips. These sessions aim to improve physical comfort during daily activities.
Controlled movement routines can help reduce heightened physical alertness. Gentle, progressive exercises are introduced based on tolerance levels, allowing gradual adaptation without strain.
This type of care may be suitable for individuals who:
