Walking, Movement and Health Children Barefoot Podcast naBOSo

What is physiotherapy and why is it important as prevention too? When should you see a physiotherapist, and what can they help you with? Find out in this interview with the girls from FyzioKoktejl.

Physiotherapists, classmates, colleagues from the rehabilitation department and, last but not least, barefoot footwear lovers Mgr. Kristýna Šonská and Mgr. Olga Sidorenková accepted our invitation to the next episode of naBOSo mluVÍ.

This podcast is the first in a series we’re preparing. We’ll break down what physiotherapy actually is, what types there are, and what studying it looks like. And we’ll bust the myth that physiotherapist = masseur.

The key idea is to include regular physiotherapy appointments as a form of prevention against a wide range of health issues linked to today’s lifestyle—whether that’s supporting children’s development, or for adults, for example, preventing the effects of a sedentary job.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

  • What physiotherapy is (1:33)
  • Physiotherapists are not masseurs (2:48)
  • Physiotherapists’ education: then and now (3:21)
  • What does a physiotherapist do? (4:03)
  • Is physiotherapy a demanding job? (11:09)
  • Physiotherapy covered by insurance vs. paid by the patient (12:22)
  • When it’s better to go to physiotherapy as a self-paying patient (14:07)
  • Why physiotherapy is important as prevention (16:34)
  • Less movement in society increases the need for prevention (19:42)
  • Preventive care for babies and young children (20:48)
  • When and where to take your child for preventive physiotherapy (23:32)
  • A few recommendations to finish (26:13)
