COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIESPatrick De Bock
Complementary to physiotherapy
o Deliberately making the difference between technique and therapy
o In order to make it easy we’ll use the abbreviation “T&T”
o Hence covering:
Combining in such a way as to enhance or emphasize the qualities of each
other
Next to or separate from physiotherapy, meaning more or less standing on
its own
As such T&T =
o Technique: as a not absolutely necessary part of a physiotherapy treatment plan ≈
alongside other PT techniques
o Therapy: standing on its own and as such applicable as a monotherapy
T&T complementary to physiotherapy
o Teaching usually not at a university college level
o Privately organised courses
Subjects very often considered:
o “alternative medicine”
o In the grey zone between medicine and physiotherapy ✓ some even not coming near
medicine or physiotherapy ✓ debatable whether legitimate
Nevertheless, some courses/subjects beyond any doubt
Scientifically well researched and evidence based
Well trained and experienced teaching staff
Deliberately not following definitions such as in:
https://www.medicinenet.com/alternative_medicine/article.htm#tocb
Alternative medicine:
o Too many definitions
o Very often negative connotation which can be unjustified
o Avoid the term in order not to use it incorrectly or evoke unwanted and time
consuming discussions
Watch out for the magic word “holistic”
o Ethically very nice but often far from reality
o Which does not mean that only treating the symptom is unethical!
Some ignore their scientific education/degree
Caution is necessary but do not condemn
It is not all nonsense, crap and rubbish
Learn to approach with an open mind
Nevertheless be critical!!!
ACUPUNCTURE
, T&T in which thin needles are inserted into the body
Key component of traditional Chinese medicine
o Follows concepts such as qi, meridians and acupuncture points
