Why Physiotherapists needs to be more careful in second wave of CORONA

 Hi friends,

Physiotherapists are serving as frontier in the fight with corona. Their services and calibre are playing super role in the fight.

Though Physiotherapists are not counted in emergency services but still their services in ICU can not be ignored.

I solutes my Physio therapist friends who are still running their clinics in this though time.

There are some friends who have taken the clinic space on rent in posh areas on high rental.

They are still struggling to find ways to pay the rent by opening the door to infected patients.

They have no choices to shutdown the clinic.

They have to be in close contact with patients during treatment specially during manual therapy or chiropractic sessions.

Home visit to infected patients is another difficult situation to handle.

Physiotherapists are not getting any help from any source, specially the condition of clinic owner or clinic runner Physiotherapists are having tough time.

Through this platform I would like to urge the government authorities to aid the Physiotherapists interim relief on priority basis.

I would also like to ask the  IAP stakeholders to take this matter to government on priority.

We are a health care professional should keep ourselves fit and infection free should takes all possible measures to ensure that the infection don't catching us.

Emotional intelligence need to be in stable phase through out this situation.

What is the use of ultrasound in physiotherapy

What is the use of ultrasound in physiotherapy?

The ultrasound used in Physiotherapy is known as therapeutic ultrasound. 

The frequency of it varies from that of diagnostic ultrasound.

Physiotherapist usually uses ultrasound heads with 1 megahertz and 3 megahertz.

The 1megahertz one has more penetration and 3 has less penetration. The Physiotherapist will choose between both depending upon the area to be treated.

The use of ultrasound in Physiotherapy spans from treating an injured soft tissue like ligaments and tendons to removal of scars.

Skilled ultrasound treatments can give miraculous results and in our opinion ultrasound treatments has no alternative in Physiotherapy and because of the same reason it is an inevitable machine in Physiotherapy clinics.

To explain in a very simple context, I used to tell my patients that, I am using ultrasound, as I cannot put my fingers through your skin and give a mild massage to your injured ligament for draining the waste metabolites and improving the circulation. But when explain scientifically it is much more. It helps in tissue healing by various physical properties of sound waves.

I am listing down the common conditions treated.

Oesteoarthritis.

Costochondritis.

Plantarfascitis.

Ligament sprain.

Tendon strain.

Spondylosis and spondylitis

Scar tissue removal etc.

There is much more even I have treated chronic sinusitis and acne scars very successfully with therapeutic ultrasound.
