Physical therapy

Physiotherapy is the oldest branch of healing, a Greek-origin word meaning healing with natural energies. Within this, physiotherapy refers to therapy using physical energies.

The tools of physiotherapy in our medicine:electrotherapy:

  • low-frequency treatments: stable galvanic, iontophoresis, diadynamic current
  • medium-frequency treatments: interference
  • high-frequency treatments: magnetotherapy

mechanotherapy: ultrasound, sonophoresis, underwater ultrasound, shockwave therapyphototherapy: laser light treatmentthermotherapy: cold therapy (cryotherapy).

Physiotherapy is mostly symptomatic treatment. It treats pathological symptoms such as decreased local metabolism, reduced blood circulation, decreased nerve excitability, increased muscle tone-spastic state, stiffer connective tissue, increased fluid accumulation, local inflammation, narrowed joint movement, and pain.

Their effects are exerted through a course of treatment, which usually consists of at least 10 sessions.
