Flaccidity Management: Regain Strength with Physio360.

Introduction: 

Flaccidity, characterised by a marked decrease in muscle tone, can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. Whether caused by neurological disorders, injuries, or muscle diseases, managing flaccidity requires specialised care and a comprehensive rehabilitation plan. At Physio360, our expert physiotherapists in Chennai employ cutting-edge techniques to help patients overcome flaccidity and regain muscle strength and control.

Understanding Flaccidity

Flaccidity is the opposite of spasticity, where muscles lose their tone and appear weak or limp. This condition can occur due to neurological damage, trauma, stroke, spinal cord injuries, or neuromuscular diseases. Common symptoms include muscle weakness, reduced reflexes, and an inability to maintain posture.

Causes of Flaccidity.

• Neurological Disorders: Conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injuries.

• Peripheral Nerve Damage: Injuries leading to nerve dysfunction can cause localised muscle flaccidity.

• Muscle Disorders: Diseases affecting muscle integrity, such as muscular dystrophy.

• Post-Surgery or Trauma: Prolonged immobility can lead to muscle atrophy and flaccidity.

  
  

Physio360’s Approach to Flaccidity Management.

At Physio360, we provide customised rehabilitation plans targeting the root cause of flaccidity. Our physiotherapists assess each patient's condition and develop an individualised program, focusing on:
