A friend of mine recently told me her dermatologist was using Laser Light Therapy to successfully treat her eczema. I wasn’t surprised. With its time-efficiency and broad range of applications, Laser Light Therapy is one of the most popular treatment modalities in physical therapy. Physical therapists use laser light therapy to great effect with a multitude of diagnoses including arthritis, neuropathy, muscle strains, fractures, pain reduction and TMJ.
Chronic pain is the most common cause of long-term disability in the United States. As a result most conditions that result in a visit to physical therapy involve a degree of inflammation and pain. These symptoms typically result in functional limitations, decreased strength and impaired mobility. Physical therapists create treatment plans with efficiency and maximum benefits in mind using a combination of manual therapy, activity-based procedures, patient education and physical modalities. When considering using a modality, many factors are considered: ease of use, efficiency of time, whether it’s non-invasive, and the speed in which it can benefit. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is one of the most popular treatment modalities in physical therapy. Physical therapists use laser light therapy to great

effect with a multitude of chronic pain diagnoses including arthritis, neuropathy, muscle strains, fractures, pain reduction and TMJ.
In addition to patients seen under an insurance or cash basis, clients who have suffered a work-place injury or car accident can benefit from physical therapy to help address their pain and return them to function.
While low back pain is the most common type, middle-back pain is just as uncomfortable, debilitating and becoming more prevalent with more and more people suffering from postural deficits.
When people have sports injuries, generally they want to throw some ice on it and call it a day, if they even do that. Unfortunately, some injuries can be persistent and begin to effect functional mobility. When this happens, it’s time to seek treatment from a physical therapist.
Kinesio tape is a physical therapy tool that can help with a variety of issues like neck, back, shoulder, knee, and ankle pain. It was developed in 1979 by Dr. Kenzo Kase and uses heat-activated glue so it can stay on for a few days during exercise or showering. When applied properly by a trained professional, it can help reduce pain, improve muscle function, increase circulation, and prevent injuries. There are different application techniques for Kinesio tape depending on the desired outcome, such as relieving pain, reducing swelling, or supporting injured areas.
In clinical practice, we need reliable measures of muscle strength to determine mobility and self-care ability within certain patient populations. For example, when you’re treating someone with a spinal cord injury (SCI) they may have strength deficits that can limit their functional ability to perform activities of daily living. In this case, muscle-strength testing is used to document recovery or loss of motor function early in SCI, as well as measure improvements in strength in chronic SCI. These measures are also used for research purposes to determine the effectiveness of clinical trials.
Neck pain is a common complaint in physical therapy, being the number three cause of chronic pain in the United States. The unfortunate byproduct is that most people believe that neck pain is a normal condition, with 41% believing it’s a part of the aging process and a whopping 60% not bothering to talk to a medical practitioner about their chronic pain.

Measuring hand strength and manual muscle testing helps identify deficits after local injury as well as providing information on a patient’s overall strength and health. The best way to measure hand strength or manual muscle testing is with the use of a handheld dynamometer.
uscle strength is a common area evaluated when patient first come to rehabilitation. Most practitioners use manual muscle testing devices like hand held dynamometers to get results for muscle strength.
Working in a physical therapy office, I see a lot of back pain. Some days, it feels like that’s all we treat. Recently I looked at statistics to confirm what I was seeing is true. A recent study found that up to 84% of adults will have low back pain, 23% of those will develop chronic low back pain that lasts more than a month and 48% will have pain that lasts even longer.
Monitoring muscle strength is one of the ways physical therapists and other healthcare practitioners can objectively assess overall health. The best tool for accurately evaluating muscle strength are what is know as Hand Held Dynamometers. Every move a body makes is powered by muscle strength. Muscle strength describes the force generated when a muscle (or group of muscles) contract. Maintaining muscle strength is an important part of daily life as it affects many aspects.
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.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, usually progressive, disease that primarily affects young adults. More than 350,000 people in the United States and 2.5 million worldwide have been diagnosed with MS. Multiple Sclerosis Physical Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that involves the loss of myelin, a material that covers and protects the nerves in the body's central nervous system.
When treating a patient in physical therapy, time is precious. When working in a busy physical therapy clinic, space is precious. Sometimes or rather most of the time, it can feel like there is too little of both.
When someone experiences groin strain, they’ve experienced a tear to the adductor muscles of the hip. There are 5 groin muscles (adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus, gracilis and pectineus) and these muscles may be injured when they are in a stretched position, but also if they are forced to contract suddenly.
At the clinic we are sometimes asked about occupational therapy vs. physical therapy, as if they are two completely different sides in rehabilitation. When in reality, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy are complimentary professions. Occasionally, a patient will be confused as to what type of therapy they need.
The document discusses the benefits of using the MicroFET 2 handheld dynamometer for manual muscle testing. It recommends the MicroFET 2 because it is digital for easy reading, considered accurate according to studies, can be used wirelessly, and comes with attachments to ensure proper muscle isolation. Placement of the dynamometer is important for accuracy, and the document provides guidelines for correct placement during testing of various muscle groups and motions.

This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.
