Definition

“Tricking” the nervous system is ok provided you exploit that neurological window of opportunity by applying the right stressors afterwards. ~Anonymous Dont try to teach perfect movement patterns, instead try to correct the key fault that is causing the trouble. ~Karel Lewit Physiotherapy, also called physical therapy, is used to treat pain by using methods such as interferential therapy, ultrasonic, short wave diathermy, wax therapy, and muscle strengthening exercises. Physiotherapy plays an important role in the recovery of stroke patients. It also plays a major role in treating children with cerebral palsy, and in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. It is an autonomous health profession that is primarily directed towards the prevention or alleviation of movement-dysfunction in people. It is concerned with the remediation of impairment, and promotion of mobility, functional ability. The practice of physiotherapy is dedicated to movement sciences and is concerned with the function of body systems.
