Fitness & Rehabilitation

MODALITIES:

Modalities are shown to help facilitate the healing process and reduce risk for secondary conditions in conjunction with other physical therapy interventions. Research shows that modalities provide their own benefits. However, exercises, manual therapy and patient education produce superior benefits.

Ultrasound is a deep heat modality that improves circulation (healing) and tissue elasticity (for range of motion). The deep heat also reduces scar tissue and muscle tension thus resulting in reduced pain.

Electrical Stimulation is a modality that helps reduce pain thus allowing the reduced muscle guarding and improved mobility.

Moist Heat is a superficial heat modality which improves circulation (healing) and tissue elasticity (for range of motion) and reduces muscle tension and pain.

Ice therapy is typically used to reduce inflammation, swelling and pain.
