Ultrasound (US) is a mechanical (not electrical) form of energy, and therefore, strictly speaking, it is not really electrotherapy at all, but it falls into electrotherapy. Ultrasound is applied using the head of an ultrasound probe that is placed in direct contact with your skin via a transmission coupling gel. this probe is having electricity as a basic source of energy, which is being converted into mechanical forms into sound or we can say waveforms energy. The sound energy is known as mechanical vibration at increasing frequencies.  The normal range of human sound is from 16 Hz to something close to 15-20,000 Hz (in kids and young adults). Beyond that upper limit, the ultrasound is known as the mechanical vibration. Usually, the frequencies used in therapy vary from 1.0 and 3.0 MHz (1 MHz= 1 million cycles per second). Sound waves are longitudinal waves consisting of compression and rarefaction zones. Particles of material will oscillate about a fixed poin...

The push up may just be the perfect exercise that builds both upper body and core strength if  Done properly, it is a compound exercise that uses muscles in the chest, shoulders, triceps, back, abs, and even the legs. A pushup uses your own body weight as resistance, working your upper body and core at the same time. A push-up (or press-up) is a common calisthenics exercise performed in a prone position by raising and lowering the body using the arms. Push-ups exercise the pectoral muscles, triceps, and anterior deltoids, with ancillary benefits to the rest of the deltoids, serratus anterior, coracobrachialis and the midsection as a whole. Push-ups are a basic exercise used in civilian athletic training or physical education and commonly in military physical training. They are also a common form of punishment used in the military, school sport, or in some martial arts disciplines. How To Perform PUSHUP? 1.  Lie on the floor face down and place your hands about 30-...
