Therapeutic modalities

About this book

For the third edition, [the author] has added sections on fluidotherapy, hyperberic oxygen therapy, and magnet therapy (the latter because therapists get so many questions about this clinically unproven technique) and administrative procedure. Introductory chapters describe injury response, physiology and psychology of pain, treatment planning, and administrative concerns. The modalities of treatment, grouped in sections on cold and superficial heating agents, deep-heating agents, electrical stimulation, mechanical and light modalities, are described in sections that focus in sequential stages on the technology, the therapeutic objectives, and the applications.-http://www.booksinprint.com.
