ULTRASOUND THERAPY
Ultrasound is a deep heating treatment used to treat many musculoskeletal conditions like sprains, strains, or tendonitis.
Ultrasound is administered by your physical therapist using an ultrasound machine. A wand called a sound head is pressed gently against your skin and moved in small circular sweeps near the site of injury. A small amount of gel is used so the ultrasound waves are absorbed into the skin and muscles.

SUSPENSION THERAPY
Suspension therapy is a special technique of therapeutic exercise in which a part or all of the body is suspended in the air by ropes and slings attached to a fixed point above. That is given to patients to increase ROM, increase muscle power, and support body parts by using ropes and slings.
It is a challenging physical therapy protocol that utilizes an anti-gravity suspension system. It can help you deal with strengthening your stabilizer muscles and core to reduce chronic back pain.

ELECTROMYOGRAPHY
Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them (motor neurons). EMG results can reveal nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission.
If your EMG shows abnormal electrical activity when a muscle contracts, then you may have a herniated disc or a nerve disorder, such as ALS or carpal tunnel syndrome. Depending on your results, your doctor will talk to you about any additional tests or treatments that might be needed.

WAX THERAPY
Wax therapy is a form of deep heat therapy one of the most effective ways of applying heat to improve mobility by warming the connective tissues.
Wax bath physiotherapy, using paraffin wax, is one of the most effective ways of applying heat to improve joint mobility by warming the connective tissues. It is mainly used for painful hands and feet and is used by our physiotherapists in conjunction with gentle mobilising techniques and a tailored exercise program.

LASER THERAPY
Laser Therapy involves the application of low-intensity laser light to relieve pain caused due to the damage of soft tissue. It facilitates tissue repair and restores normal cell function. It is used by experts to heal wounds and pain. The level of light is quite low as compared to other forms of Laser Therapy, such as those used to destroy tumors and coagulate tissues.
The theory behind light therapy is that photons of light carry energy, and this energy applied to injured tissues can help improve cellular processes and speed healing or decrease pain.

CUPPING THERAPY
It is also known as vacuum cupping, hijama cupping, horn treatment etc. It is a practice in which the therapist puts special cups on the skin to create suction. This causes the tissue beneath the cup to be drawn up and swell causing increase in blood flow to affected area.
Cupping or vacuum therapy is an alternative therapy that uses suction created by placing suction cups on the body to treat several medical conditions like headaches, arthritis, post injury trauma, rheumatism, fibromyalgia, fatigue and musculoskeletal problems.
DRY NEEDLING THERAPY
Trigger-point dry needling is an invasive procedure where a fine needle or acupuncture needle is inserted into the skin and muscle.
Dry needling treats muscle tissue, and its goal is to reduce pain, inactivate trigger points and restore function. It rarely is a standalone procedure. Rather, it often is part of a broader physical therapy approach incorporating other traditional physical therapy interventions into treatment.
The two most common techniques that are used by physios are; Myofascial Trigger Point and Segmental dry needling techniques.

CONTINUOUS PASSIVE MOTION
Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) therapy uses machines to move a joint passively i.e. without the patient exerting any effort.
CPM is most commonly used after joint surgery to promote the recovery of normal joint range of motion (ROM) and thus, to prevent joint stiffness complications. It is frequently recommended after knee joint replacement or knee cartilage repair surgery.
Joint stiffness after surgery or injury is reported to progress through four stages: bleeding, edema, granulation tissue, and fibrosis. [3] When applied during the first two stages, CPM can ensure the maintenance of normal periarticular soft tissue compliance and prevent the development of stiffness by helping pump blood and edema fluid away from the joint and periarticular tissues.

TRACTION THERAPY
Traction therapy, or spinal decompression therapy, is a nonsurgical treatment that uses manual or mechanical means to stretch the spine and relieve pain among affected discs. This treatment repositions herniated or bulging discs, facet disease, pinched nerves, and degenerative disc disease.
Traction is a treatment option that is based on the application of a longitudinal force to the axis of the spinal column.

INTERFERENTIAL THERAPY
Interferential therapy is a type of therapy which is very effective and is used in relieving pain.Interferential current therapy works by sending small amounts of electrical stimulation to damaged tissues in the body. The therapy is meant to boost the body's natural process for responding to pain, increase blood flow and the production of hormones that promote healing.
IFT for back pain is well sought after as it is non-invasive and effective.

WHIRLPOOL BATH THERAPY
Whirlpool treatment is a physical therapy modality that is utilized to treat a few muscular and neurological dysfunctions. Therapeutic effects The whirlpool bath combines the values of conductive heat and gentle massage. A sedative action.
A whirlpool may be used by your physical therapist to help improve circulation, mobility, and comfort after an injury or after surgery.
The goal is to decrease swelling, control inflammation, improve motion, decrease pain, decrease muscle spasm. Warm Whirlpool (98-110°F to patient comfort)- Increases circulation by opening up small arteries in the body, bringing fresh blood supply, oxygen, cells, and nutrients to the injured area.
ELECTRICAL MUSCLE STIMULATOR
Electric stimulation works by mimicking the natural way by which the body exercises its muscles. The electrodes attached to the skin deliver impulses that make the muscles contract. It is beneficial in increasing the patient's range of motion and improves the circulation of the body.
It can help reduce edema (swelling) and expedite the healing process of injured or damaged tissue, help reduce chronic pain and may improve joint pain and swelling.

EXERCISE THERAPY
Exercise therapy consists of movements and physical activities that are used to increase strength, function, and reduce discomfort.
The goals of therapeutic exercises include the restoration of movement, improvement of function and strength, improvement in gait and balance, and the prevention and the promotion of health, wellness, and fitness. Specific exercises are aimed at restoring strength, power and work, or endurance, or a combination.

MANUAL THERAPY
The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) defines manual therapy techniques as "skilled hand movements and skilled passive movements of joints and soft tissue." In other words, it's physical therapy that employs the practitioner's hands rather than machines.
Many patients with acute or chronic pain and joint stiffness and muscle tension can benefit from manual therapy. It's a treatment to address muscle and soft tissue pain, joint stiffness, posture, and to assist in efficient movement.
