Physical treatment methods for practice

Physical therapy is based on the therapeutic use of various forms of energy. It is used in all medical, healthcare and other fields. It has a dominant position in the treatment of the musculoskeletal system and is encountered in rehabilitation wards, spas, reconditioning and fitness centres and often in home therapy. In order for its use to be truly effective and beneficial, it is necessary to know the physical nature of each type of energy, the mechanism of its effect on the body, the body's response to its action and, of course, possible undesirable and side effects.

The reader will also find in the publication the possibilities of using ionizing radiation, which has an irreplaceable role in some indications. As in many other fields, technical innovations play an important role, and robotic rehabilitation is also mentioned.

The well-documented publication will be used by students of medical and nursing faculties, biomedical engineering, as well as by practitioners.
