The Physiotherapy Equipment Market Has Been Divided Into Three Categories Based On Product Type: Equipment, Accessories, And Others

 

Physiotherapy (Physical Therapy), which uses mechanical force and movement to treat patients, is rapidly gaining popularity for a variety of reasons, including urban lifestyle, elderly population, and corporate lifestyle. Because this is a completely noninvasive technique, there is very little risk involved. Because of sedentary lifestyles and urbanisation, the incidences of cardiovascular disorders, neurological disorders, and increased ailments have increased, necessitating the use of Physiotherapy Equipment. Injuries, fractures, joint disorders, amputation, back and neck pain, arthritis, and post-operative conditions are all treated with physiotherapy. With the advancement of technology, many new types of physiotherapy equipment have recently entered the market. The growing elderly population, as well as the rising incidences of cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders, are driving the global physiotherapy equipment market. In addition, urbanisation and sedentary lifestyles have increased the demand for physiotherapy equipment.

 

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world declared country-wide lockdowns as well as social distancing measures to prevent health-care systems from collapsing. Medical procedures and elective surgeries have also been restricted or prohibited by governments. These constraints have stifled demand for physiotherapy equipment. As a result of these constraints, physiotherapy equipment manufacturers face challenges such as in-person product demonstrations, operating at full capacity, and attending conferences that help generate future sales opportunities. Furthermore, the blockade in Asia Pacific countries such as China and India has caused delays in the production and shipment of physiotherapy products. All of these factors are expected to have a negative impact on the physiotherapy equipment market's growth.

 

The Physiotherapy Equipment Market has been divided into three categories based on product type: equipment, accessories, and others. Hydrotherapy, continuous passive motion, electric stimulation, heat therapy, cryotherapy, ultrasound, and therapeutic exercises have been subdivided further within the equipment segment. Furthermore, the rising number of road accidents has provided fertile ground for the growth of the Physiotherapy Equipment Market. Accidents, in addition to causing mental trauma, cause major physical deformities such as whiplashes, herniated discs, and knee trauma, which can be corrected with physiotherapy. To avoid aggravating injuries, devices such as pain relievers and braces are commonly used.
