Physical agent modalities

Physical agent modalities

Physical therapy (derived from the Greek words “physis” – nature” and “therapeia” – treatment) is a treatment involving natural factors (climatotherapy, balneotherapy (drinking mineral water, baths and inhalations), peloid therapy (mud and peat applications)) and artificial physical factors (electrotherapy, magnetotherapy, ultrasound, infrared therapy, laser therapy, thermotherapy, cryotherapy, etc.). The body can be affected by physical factors: directly (specific, physical and chemical effects on the body’s tissues) or reflexively (non-specific, general effects on the body).

Physical agent modalities used in treatment allow faster reduction of inflammation, acute and chronic pain, strengthen weakened and relax spasmodic muscles, improve joint function, accelerate the healing of wounds, ulcers, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory and other systems, normalize the functioning of the cerebral cortex, improves blood circulation and trophic in tissues, promotes tissue regeneration processes, increases the body’s immunity, adaptive and compensatory properties.

Physical therapy is an important component of complex treatment and rehabilitation, which enhances the effect of treatment, helps prevent complications, promotes faster recovery, and improves the quality of life.
