Types of Treatment Modalities Used in Physiotherapy

Manual therapy – Manual therapy is a technique used by physiotherapists to manipulate and mobilize affected joints by massaging them with the use of their hands.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy – It is a technique wherein a small battery-driven device is used to send low-grade current through the electrodes placed on the skin surface. A TENS device temporarily relieves the pain of the affected area.

Dry needling and acupuncture Fine needles are inserted into specific body points, which reduce pain for a short span of time.

Taping – This technique promotes the body’s natural healing process. A tape is used, which lifts the skin away from the connective tissue, hence increases the space and allows the lymphatic fluid to move more effectively.

Joint mobilization – This type of manual therapy technique is used wherein a physiotherapist mobilizes the joints at different speeds, depths, and amplitudes to restore normal joint movement.

Stretches and exercises – Physiotherapists teach various exercises and body stretching techniques, which help restore joint movements.

Rehabilitation – A wide range of strengthening, preventative, and corrective exercises are used to alleviate disease conditions.

Strengthening programs – Physiotherapists conduct specialized programs, and educate their patients about personal responsibility for health and physical conditioning. Such programs help patients in improving their overall strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility.
