The document summarizes several common physical agents used in physiotherapy for patient rehabilitation, including hot packs, cold packs, paraffin, hydrotherapy, ultrasound, laser therapy, magnetotherapy, and electrostimulation. Hot packs are used to increase blood flow and relieve muscle pain and spasms, while cold packs decrease blood flow and are used to reduce inflammation and pain. Paraffin is applied to joints to improve flexibility and reduce stiffness. Hydrotherapy uses water and jets to heat or cool tissues and aid circulation. Ultrasound, laser therapy, and magnetotherapy are applied to reduce swelling and inflammation and accelerate healing. Electrostimulation causes muscle contraction through electrical current to prevent atrophy and improve muscle strength and joint

using physiotherapy modalities for improve the healing of wound specially for bed ulcer, vascular ulcer , post infected surgical wound , diabetic foot ulcers
Scar tissue develops as the result of burns, deep lacerations or any injury that penetrates or disrupts the skin’s integrity. Skin has an amazing capacity to heal, so when injured a scab is formed following the injury.
Pressure sores are localized areas of tissue breakdown in skin and/or underlying tissues that develop when persistent pressure between a bony site and underlying surface obstructs healthy capillary flow.
Constant external pressure over 70 mm Hg for 2 hours produces irreversible ischemic changes.
Synonyms : Pressure ulcer, Decubitus ulcer,
Bed sore.

• The growing interest in physiotherapy and rehabilitation within small animal practice presents a few challenges for the veterinary surgeon.
• There is an expectation among the public, and within veterinary law, that veterinary practitioners should be the experts on physiotherapy and rehabilitation for animals, but current training does not prepare them for this role.
• While the non-specialist vet and nurse can easily and effectively provide simple physiotherapy modalities with just basic training, qualified veterinary physiotherapists can offer a new dimension to the small animal practice and bring additional expertise and skills to the veterinary team.
• The integration of physiotherapy in practice can help to improve outcomes and promote a positive, caring image to clients.
• Hopefully, when the established post-graduate programs of study begin to produce quality research the scientific evidence base for animal physiotherapy will broaden and strengthen, ultimately enhancing the quality of overall veterinary care.
• Physiotherapy has immense potential as an alternative treatment. It is cost effective and nowadays, this important branch is also rapidly becoming recognized tool in the prevention, cure and rehabilitation of many equine, canine and feline injuries.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

The ultrasound waves are generated by
a piezoelectric effect caused by the
vibration of crystals within the head of
the probe. The ultrasound waves that
pass through the skin cause a vibration
of the local soft tissues. This vibration or
cavitation can cause a deep heating
locally though usually no sensation of
heat will be felt by the patient.
APPLICATION
This is moved continuously over the skin for
approximately 3-5 mins. Treatments may be
repeated 1-2 times daily in more acute injuries
and less frequently in chronic cases.
Ultrasound is applied using the head of an
ultrasound probe that is placed in direct
contact with your skin via a transmission
coupling gel.
EFFECTS
Therapeutic ultrasound has been shown to cause
increases in:
healing rates, tissue relaxation, tissue heating,
local blood flow, scar tissue breakdown.
