1. PHYSIOTHERAPY AND LASERTHERAPY Austin Fernandes

2. Physiotherapy is a field geared towards restoring mobility, functionality, independence, and psychological well being. Physiotherapy is largely practiced in a hospital setting, in which a patient presents with an illness or injury that limits their movement and has a negative effect on their quality of life. A physiotherapist then aims to restore both mobility and quality of life by means of manipulation, therapeutic exercise, hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, or any one of many different tools they have available. What is PHYSIOTHERAPY???

3. Cold Therapy or Cryotherapy Cold therapy is effective in minimizing pain and swelling, especially in acute (immediate) injuries. It may also be used just after deep kneading massage (DKM). Examples of cold therapy are ice pack application and ice massage. Types of Physiotherapy Heat Therapy Applying heat can help improve your blood flow especially at the site of injury, thus, speeding up healing. In addition, it can help soften tight tissues and relieves pain.

4. Electrical Stimulation Electrical stimulation is used to prevent muscle atrophy (wasting) in people with paralysis and assist in gaining some degree of muscle strength, such as after a knee surgery. In electrical stimulation, electrodes are placed on the surface of the skin, which can cause muscles to shorten. TENS TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation , is a type of electrical stimulation. It is a small battery-powered device that sends low current through the electrodes place on the skin surface. A TENS device does not cause the muscles to contract, but rather helps temporarily relieve pain. And many more……..
