Although therapeutic ultrasound are commonly used in industrial applications in civil engineering and even insect repellant, one of its most interesting applications in medicine.

In this field, ultrasound is a type of therapy used to treat various conditions. It also applies to diagnostic imaging: the machine Ultrasound creates images that allow you to examine various organs in the body.

Let’s consider some of the therapeutic applications of ultrasound:

Physical: The benefits of therapeutic ultrasound in this area are of two types: thermal and nonthermal. This physical stimulation appears to improve cellular repair capacity in response to inflammation. Physical therapy with ultrasound is usually recommended for treatment of muscles and joints, but no clear evidence of their effectiveness.

Absorption of drugs: Ultrasounds are used in various drug therapies to improve its absorption in tissues default, including transdermal absorption, the concentration of chemotherapy in the tumor or the provision of thrombolytic drugs in a blood clot. Additionally it has been applied to facilitate welding in a bone fracture.

Treatment of urinary stones in the stone is used as an adjunct to surgery, facilitating the extraction of large stones through his previous breakup.

Dental cleaning: Ultrasound is used in dentistry for the removal of plaque deposited on the enamel.

Cosmetic Surgery: Ultrasounds help in mesotherapy treatments as an adjunct to liposuction, and reduce scarring.

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

Most therapists suggest that stroke rehabilitation is very effective mainly physical treatment after stroke.

However, certain published data show that the evidence found is not so simple or easy to assess. However, most of the evidence is overwhelming, because they recognize that patients benefit from stroke rehabilitation with physiotherapy.

This benefit may be statistically small, but for a given individual, it could mean the difference between living at home or in a medical institution.

Few studies address the importance of physiotherapy in rehabilitation optimal movement. The evidence currently available suggests that no matter what form of treatment chosen and that any of the available methods can improve patient’s functional status. In other words, if there is an optimal treatment, so far not been identified.

Until further evidence emerges, the therapies should be selected based on their cost-benefit analysis, which can be given to as many patients.

Well-planned clinical trials aimed at finding the best approach is extremely important in these stages.

In the field of Physical Therapy, Hydrotherapy and develops Balneotherapy (Vincent Priessnitz (Gonzalo Altamirano and Sabastian Kneipp). In the field of Massage Therapy emphasizes P. Henrik Ling, developed by the practice and teaching of massage, “Massage Swedish “. In the field of exercise, we also develop a method Gymnastic own, the” Swedish Gymnastics “, a predecessor of Physiotherapy, a term which was officially created in 1847. The field of Mechanotherapy (use of mechanical devices such as Agent Therapeutic) advances through studies of Gustav Zander. The great advances in the understanding and control of electrical phenomena and the physiology of the nervous system, allow increased application of electrotherapy qualified. In the early twentieth century, is driven London hospitals in the use of physical agents for the treatment of respiratory disease, being the forerunner of the current chest physiotherapy.

A mid-twentieth century, and after the World Wars and several epidemics like polio, whose bills were a lot of sick, injured and disabled, gradually becomes established in the medical world the idea of the creation of a professional body that is devoted exclusively to the study and practice of this discipline, Read the rest of this entry »

“Studying the power of each patient is key to the holistic approach and optimization of the recovery process in physical therapy consultations.” This has been shown Álvaro García-Romero, professor of Physical Therapy at the European University of Madrid for the European Hall of Physiotherapy, under the title “Nutrition practice for physiotherapists’ has been organized by that institution.

According to this expert says, “a lack of nutrients in a given body may be reflected in a muscular disease. Therefore, before handling a physical therapist muscle to investigate the source of pain knowing that food is the patient. ” In fact, states that “the diet affects the maintenance and regeneration of the body, so adequate food may also hasten the recovery of muscle diseases.”

An example of this “injuries are sprains, which should be borne in mind that if the patient does not have enough nutrients in the blood and abuse of the pork will have a slower recovery,” said Professor Garcia-Romero .

FOOD IN THE FIRST YEAR OF LIFE

Children have also been analyzed during this time. No wonder the food has also shown a clear influence on the recovery of one of the most common disorders for which children attend to queries: the ear and nasal mucus. In these cases, “the therapist performs manual techniques to mobilize the skull to the ear canal so that it can move to the nasal and so expel mucus. In addition, we recommend that you avoid certain foods such as cow’s milk, contribute to increased mucus, “explained Professor Garcia-Romero.

With regard to nutrition during the gestation period, the specialist recommends eating lots of fish to support the neurodevelopment of the fetus. Also remember that if “after birth, it was decided to nurse the baby breast milk, eat food that the mother should be adequate to convey to you baby enough nutrients.”

Therefore, the expert stressed the need for all physical therapists are knowledgeable about eating habits that benefit health and having influence with the different pathologies.

PHYSICAL AND STRESS

Another issue addressed in the European Hall of Physiotherapy has been stress, a condition that generates 80% of consultations in this field. “As some muscle aches from a state of stress, the therapist must be able not only to detect the origin, but to be comfortable with techniques such as diet or relaxation, which complement and correct handling,” says the professor.

According to the experts for this reason, “one of the main goals of modern physical therapy must be to reduce stress levels in the population.”

During my PhD at the University of Navarra analyzed the emotional level of a human being from a humanistic perspective. A humanistic perspective that may appear to preclude the art. However, new technologies are also influenced by source of progress in the field of communication and human socialization. The technique continues to be half the man should make appropriate use and correct. In this sense, the possibilities that arise from the virtual world are excellent. For example, you can keep in touch with a loved one who lives far away. Share and share experiences albeit differently. The contact is the key to reducing interpersonal distance.

Sometimes, certain TV programs with the sole purpose of hearing and sight get too much attention focused on the negative aspects that arise in a virtual relationship: it is easier to lie to another, hiding data, even not show the true identity. However, making such a statement does not add anything new because in the face of character relationships is also possible to deceive, manipulate and use the other person.

It is a mistake to lose sight of what positive aspects offered by the technique because it is also possible to express affection through email. Even, sometimes, it is easier to outsource certain feelings in writing. In addition, there are also excellent places that provide insight as Mobifriends.com free to other people, make friends to share hobbies, matchmaking, chat … A recommended offer for anyone because love and friendship, influence the construction of happiness and personal identity. Moreover, statistics show that more new stories are born from a first virtual contact may be the starting point for a get.

According to several research studies have shown that one of the problems that face the elderly is loneliness. Providing love dogs through the elderly, reduces the feeling of loneliness and isolation.
Therapy dog provides physical benefits. Simply pat the dog causes a relaxation, which results in decreased blood pressure, in addition to the movements of the arm, hand and other body parts, which are forced to take to pet the dogs during therapy sessions with dogs. These actions force to make a move, to stretch, to become …
Thus we have seen after the therapy sessions with dogs, wake up fun in the elderly. At the end of each session rarely remember the pain that beset them, the routine that I was bored. But the topic of conversation are the dogs.

The dog is not only a channel for discussions between residents, but also between residents and caregivers. Elderly introverted, they do not relate to others and are not integrated, seem to change after the arrival of the therapy dogs, are initiated discussions with the dogs, keep food, and just wondering when they return the dogs, they eat, as they Therapy teaches.

It promotes the exchange of affection, this give and receive affection. And at this age often fail to receive, which accelerates senile. Read the rest of this entry »

Muscle stretchings Are One of the main Techniques Within The physical therapist’s Treatments. Nevertheless, the physical therapist to Treatment MUST NOT limit the use of These Techniques But Must Also stretching guide, teach and control the autostretching Practise Exercises That the sportsman. One of the joints That Develops The Most muscle imbalances due to physical activity is the hip joint. Thus, autostretching Can Be very helpful for the sportsman. Controlled and Accurate autostretching is useful. However, Does Not Improperly Performed autostretching produce the effects in The Target Desired tissue and harm the May Also Adjacent functionally related structures. An Understanding of why, how and when to muscles and Other Structures Should Be stretched is a prerequisite for the muscle to Benefit Rather Than Functioning body harm. That There Are Many muscles go-through the hip joint, although Their special relevance due to We Are going to analyze only two of them to be: the hamstrings and rectus femoris. This analysis Begins by Reviewing Some Of The Most Often Used autostretchings Exercises And Then Suggests That autostretching adjust to the required specificity and Safety Principles for the Adjacent Structures of The Target tissue.
Conclusions

When we teach how to do the sportsman autostretching Exercises, Routines Which We Must Consider The Most Are safer and specific for the sportsman. Furthermore, the physical therapist Previously Must Evaluate the status of joint and neural Structures To Avoid undesired effects.

Muscle stretching techniques are fundamental in the therapeutic arsenal of the physiotherapist to maintain good muscle health. However, the practitioner must not only perform these stretching techniques, but also has to guide, teach and systematically monitor the athlete performs self-stretching. One of the joints that develop more muscle imbalances in the sport is the hip, so the self-stretching can become helpful to the athlete. The controlled and appropriate self-stretching is beneficial. However, a self-stretching improperly executed, besides not getting the stretch on the target tissue can damage adjacent structures functionally related. An understanding of why, when and how the muscles and other structures should be stretched is a prerequisite for the stretch cover more than degrade the function of the body. Many are the muscles that cross the hip joint, although their particular significance we will discuss only two: the hamstrings and rectus femoris. This analysis is based on a review of some of the most frequently performed self-stretching to suggest, then any self-stretching to respect the principles of specificity and safety of adjacent structures.
Conclusions

When instructing the athlete in the practice of self-stretching, the therapist must necessarily reflect on what procedures are safer and more specific to the athlete. In addition, the therapist must pre-test the condition of the joint and neural structures to avoid unwanted effects.
