Types of Physiotherapy<\/h2>\n

Modern science has contributed a lot towards the field of physiotherapy treatment. More and more methods are being devised so that mankind could benefit from the healing properties of physiotherapy.<\/p>\n

1. Cryotherapy<\/h3>\n

This is also known as \u2018cold therapy\u2019. This treatment is best for reduction of pain and swelling, especially of immediate injuries.
\nYou can also use this physiotherapy treatment after using a DKM \u2013 deep kneading massage. Examples of cryotherapy includes usage of ice packs and ice massages.<\/p>\n

Just like cold, heat plays a viable role in reduction of body ailments. Heat therapy improves your blood flow and helps heal your body injuries. It relieves pain by softening body tissues.<\/p>\n

Heat therapy can be done by several applications. Some of them are:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Hot packs
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Diathermy

5. Therapeutic Massage<\/h3>\n

Talk about rest and recreation \u2013 this is all about soft tissue mobilization. This physiotherapy treatment helps relax your tight muscles and increase blood flow in all body parts. Pain is minimized and swelling is reduced with the application of therapeutic massages.<\/p>\n

6. Electric Simulation<\/h3>\n

Lack of physical activity wastes your muscles. This phenomenon is known as \u201cmuscle atrophy\u201d.
\nThink about a person suffering from paralysis? How will he move?
\nThat\u2019s where electric simulation comes into play. In this technique of physiotherapy, electrodes are placed on the skin of an individual, which reduce the size of muscles.<\/p>\n

7. Taping<\/h3>\n

Taping involves the process of applying tape to the skin. This technique is commonly used by athletes to keep a stable position of bones and muscles.
\nTaping limits the movement of joints to protect against undue strain. The muscular architecture is relieved via correct usage of taping and blood flow is increased in specific parts of body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
