Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Cycle
The physiotherapy fitness cycle is a simple process that helps people recover from injuries and improve their physical health. It starts with an assessment, where the physiotherapist checks the person’s movement, strength, and pain. After understanding the problem, they set goals, like reducing pain or improving walking. Then, a treatment plan is made, which includes exercises, stretches, and sometimes machines. The person follows this plan regularly, either at the clinic or at home. The physiotherapist checks the progress and makes changes if needed. Once the person gets better, they are given exercises to maintain their fitness and prevent future problems. This cycle helps people stay strong, active, and healthy.
Therapeutic Ultrasound Machine
A Therapeutic Ultrasound Machine is a special device used in physiotherapy to treat pain, swelling, and injuries in muscles and joints. It works by sending high-frequency sound waves deep into the body tissues. These sound waves help increase blood flow, relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and speed up the healing process. The treatment is painless and usually takes a few minutes. Physiotherapists commonly use this machine for conditions like back pain, arthritis, sprains, and sports injuries. It is a safe and effective way to help the body heal naturally without using medicines.
Rehabilitation Treadmill
A Rehabilitation Treadmill is a special treadmill used in physiotherapy to help people recover their ability to walk and stay active. It is different from regular treadmills because it has safety features like handrails, slow starting speed, and sometimes a harness to support body weight. This makes it safe and easy for people who are weak, injured, or recovering from surgery. Physiotherapists use the treadmill to improve a patient’s walking, balance, and strength. It is often used for people with stroke, joint problems, or after leg surgeries. This machine helps in building confidence and making movement easier during recovery.
Cupping Therapy Tool
Cupping therapy is a type of treatment where special cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This suction helps improve blood flow, reduce pain, and relax muscles. It is often used to treat back and neck pain, stiff muscles, and stress. Some people may have round marks on their skin after cupping, but these usually go away in a few days. Cupping is an old healing method that comes from traditional Chinese and Middle Eastern medicine.
Hand Grip Strengthener or Finger Gripper
A hand grip strengthener, also called a finger gripper, is a simple tool used to make your hands and fingers stronger. It is often used in therapy or exercise to help people who have weak hands or are recovering from an injury. You hold the tool in your hand and squeeze it to build strength in your fingers, hand, and forearm. This can help improve your grip, make it easier to do daily tasks, and reduce hand pain. Athletes, musicians, and people with arthritis or hand problems often use this tool to keep their hands strong and flexible.
Axial Shoulder Wheel
An axial shoulder wheel is a therapy tool used to improve shoulder movement and strength. It helps people who have shoulder pain, stiffness, or are recovering from surgery or injury. The wheel is mounted on a stand or wall, and the person turns it by hand in a circular motion. This gentle movement helps increase flexibility, reduce stiffness, and strengthen the shoulder muscles. It is commonly used in physical therapy for people with frozen shoulder, arthritis, or after shoulder surgery. The shoulder wheel allows safe and controlled exercise to help the shoulder heal and move better.
EMG/EP/NVC ELECTRODE BOX
An EMG/EP/NVC electrode box is a medical device used in nerve and muscle testing. It connects electrodes to machines that measure how well nerves and muscles are working. EMG stands for Electromyography, EP for Evoked Potentials, and NVC for Nerve Conduction Velocity. These tests help doctors find problems like nerve damage, muscle weakness, or conditions such as neuropathy. The electrode box helps send signals between the body and the testing machine, making sure the results are accurate. It is an important tool in hospitals and clinics for diagnosing nerve and muscle disorders.
NEUROCOMPACT
The Neurocompact therapy machine is a medical device used to treat and check nerve and muscle problems. It is small and easy to use, making it helpful in clinics and therapy centers. This machine can do tests like EMG (Electromyography), NCS (Nerve Conduction Studies), and other checks to see how well your nerves and muscles are working. It helps doctors find issues like nerve damage, muscle weakness, or nerve pain. The Neurocompact gives clear and fast results, which helps in planning the right treatment for patients. It is a useful tool in physical therapy and neurology care.
