Physical Therapy Techniques
Physical therapy techniques are methods used by therapists to help patients recover from injuries, improve mobility, and manage pain. Common techniques include manual therapy, which involves hands-on manipulation of muscles and joints, and therapeutic exercises, designed to strengthen and stretch specific areas of the body.
Other techniques may include electrotherapy, which uses electrical stimulation to reduce pain and promote healing, and ultrasound therapy, which employs sound waves to enhance tissue repair. Each technique is tailored to the individual’s needs, aiming to restore function and improve quality of life.
