2. Began to pay attention to the importance of having
physiotherapy in Egypt during the 1956 war was
used (the Zionist entity) napalm (which bombs from
petroleum caused burns in the flesh and fully-
massive to spread rapidly its potential as they move
on the ground to slide) Blazing against the Egyptian
soldiers, prompting transferred immediately to
some Eastern bloc countries they were then placed
in huge pools full of water and antibiotics and then
follow-up with physical therapy after that.
3. The study physiotherapy began in Egypt in 1945 under the
auspices of the World Health Organization for graduates of
physical education institutes such as to keep pace with
scientific progress in the use of all that is a novelty in the
means of treatment and appeared to prepare the necessary
cadres for this specialty in 1956 to send missions abroad to
America, Britain and Germany.
In 1992, a decision was made to convert the institute into a
subsidiary of the Department of Cairo University Faculty Up
college departments into eight sections
4. ADepartment of Basic Sciences Physiotherapy and
Department of physiotherapy for neurology and surgery and
physiotherapy department of paediatrics and surgery and
physiotherapy department of the bones, injuries and
surgery and physiotherapy department of surgery and the
Department of biomechanics and finally treatment
department is normal for obstetrics and gynecology and
surgery The College of Physical Therapy at the University of
Cairo, the first of its kind in Egypt and the Arab countries
has been created specifically to address the need for
specialists in physical therapy.
5. Although patients may come to see therapists for a variety
of causes, low back aches, knee pain, and overuse injuries
are among the most common complaints. Following a
thorough investigation, therapists will begin to lay out a
treatment plan, which will commonly include passive
modalities (ice, heat, laser therapy, and electrical
stimulation to name a few). But more often than not,
manual therapy a term that includes many methods of
restoring tissue function like massage, stretching, and
exercise is the foundation for the assessment and
treatment of an injury.

7. Best for: Any injury
This hands-on approach separates physical therapists from other
health practitioners. Although manual therapy may refer to many
things, therapists usually employ common tactics like stretching,
massage, and hands-on strengthening exercises to reeducate the
body into proper movement and mechanics. “Manual therapy is a
prime method to removing movement restrictions and helping
patients move better, also manual therapy should form the
backbone of any treatment plan, not modalities like ice and
electric stimulation.
9. Best for: Injuries involving inflammation and swelling
Ice can be a major component of injury treatment. By
constricting blood vessels after application, ice is an
effective way to reduce and even prevent inflammation
immediately following an injury. Cold therapy can also
leave the joint more mobile and enhance manual
therapy. Although it’s difficult to nail down the most
effective protocol, applying cold packs to inflamed
areas has been shown to significantly reduce swelling in
soft tissue injuries.
10. Best for: Injuries involving muscular spasms and
tightness
Applying heat has been shown to decrease pain and
increase mobility after some injuries — mainly those
involving soft tissue like muscles, tendons, and
ligaments . By making the tissue more pliable, the
therapist can better stretch the affected area. Note:
Heat is just one tool to help the therapist be more
effective.
11.
12. Best for: Connective tissue injuries
By using sound waves (undetectable to the human ear) to
generate heat deep in the body, ultrasound therapy can
help loosen up tissues in preparation for manual therapy or
exercise. How it works: Therapists use a wand
(unfortunately not the magic kind!) to apply the sound
waves directly — and safely — to the skin. Ultrasound has
also been shown to increase ligament-healing speed ,
though more studies are needed to show whether the same
holds true for us.
13. Best for: Muscular or connective tissue injuries
Laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to
stimulate healing (well below the skin so you don’t
feel a thing.
The treatment can help reduce inflammation,
muscle fatigue, and pain . It can also allow the
therapist to move the affected joint around easier
with less discomfort.
14.
15. Best for: Restoring muscular strength
It’s electric — no really. Electrical stimulation, also
referred to as ESTIM, is a common treatment option
to restore muscular function following a traumatic
injury. By applying a minor but steady electrical
stimulus, therapists can cause contractions from
muscles that may otherwise remain dormant. This
leads to restoring proper movement and function
sooner than relying on exercise alone.

18. Best for: Any injury to stay healthy after treatment
It may sound obvious, but exercise is a go-to strategy
to treat and prevent pain. But these aren’t just any
old run of the mill exercises — they’re hand-picked
to help patients move better by strengthening
targeted muscles and addressing any muscular
imbalances that may exist, By performing any sort
regular exercise, those with even the most sedentary
day-to-day can avoid common nagging aches and
pains.
