What are Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Applications?
Exercise: A treatment method in which areas of the body where muscles and tissues are weaker than other areas are strengthened through physical activity, strengthening the patient’s muscular and skeletal systems.
Electrotherapy: A treatment method that uses low and high electrical currents to eliminate pain and muscle weakness.
Phototherapy: A type of treatment that involves applying laser and UV rays to the correct areas.
Hydrotherapy: A treatment method using water, in which patients are given hot water baths, contrast baths, seawater treatments, spa treatments, and whirlpool baths.
Manual Therapy: A physical therapy method performed by hand without the use of any medication, device, or tool.
Mechanotherapy: A physical therapy method that involves the use of various tools to perform back and neck traction movements, as well as compression applications and manipulations.
Thermotherapy: This method involves applying superficial or deep heat to the affected area using hot packs, high-frequency electric currents (i.e., microwaves), high-frequency sound (i.e., ultrasound therapy), infrared rays, sunlight, and paraffin baths.
Cryotherapy: This type of physical therapy involves the application of cold water packs, ice packs, sprays, liquid nitrogen, and cold compresses to the painful area.
