WHY PHYSICAL THERAPY AND REHABILITATION
When we apply physical treatment agents, for example, heat, cold or electrical currents to an individual, we can overcome pain, inflamation, muscle rigidity and muscle spasm. As a result we can obtain a quick resolution of a muscle or joint problem and we can see the related pain diminish or completely finish.WHAT MEANS PHYSICAL THERAPY AND REHABILITATION
When we say Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation we mean the treatment of bodily function insufficiency or loss following a disease, a trauma or an injury. After physical therapy and rehabilitation sessions a person will most probably be able to accomplish his/her daily activities of living.
The most commonly used physical therapy agents are superficial heat such as infrared light or hot packs application, deep application of heat by diathermy apparatus or ultrasound machines; cold application mostly in the beginning phase of certain diseases and the application of some electrical currents.
Whereas the application of physical therapy agents is useful in the beginning of most joint and muscle problems, a following rehabilitation program provides us with more sustainable results that help a sick person to return to his/her previous quality of life. That is why rehabilitation process comes after a physical therapy program or they are applied all together.
Rehabilitation mostly consists of therapeutic exercises and it means the regain of bodily functions that are lost due to some diseases.Firstly the meaning of rehabilitation was the treatment of invalidity. As a result of recent advance in this field, it has now a broader meaning: it covers all treatment activities by physical interventions that aim the restart of physical, psychological, social and economical independence of a sick or disabled person.
