TENS , or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is a pain treatment that uses low voltage electric current to Distract pain signals in your body. TENS is typically done with a TENS unit. Nowadays there are many types of TENS Modalities are available, but the basic principle remains the same. TENS can be portable or with a clinic setup. You attach the pads directly to your skin. When the machine is switched on, small electrical impulses are delivered to the affected area of your body, which you feel like a tingling sensation. The electrical impulses can reduce the pain signals going to the spinal cord and brain, which may help relieve pain and relax muscles. They may also stimulate the production of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers. There are two theories about how transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) works. One theory is that the electric current stimulates nerve cells that block the transmission of pain signals, modifying your perception of pa

Postural drainage (bronchial drainage) in Chest Physiotherapy , the technique used for airway clearance , is a means of mobilizing secretions in one or more lung segments to the central airways by placing the patient in various positions. gravity effect on various positions taken by the patient.  When secretions are moved from the smaller to the larger airways, they are then cleared by coughing or endotracheal suctioning. Postural drainage therapy also includes the use of manual techniques, such as percussion, shaking, and vibration , coupled with voluntary coughing. after recovery some patients found lung function decreased in COVID-19 as known as coronavirus infection. post-treatment lung physiotherapy and chest physiotherapy can improve lung function. Goals and Indications for Postural Drainage Prevent Accumulation of Secretions in Patients at Risk for Pulmonary Complications  Patients with pulmonary diseases that are associated with increased production or viscosity

Definition Of Voluntary or Active Movement is Movement performed or controlled by the voluntary action of muscles, working in opposition to an external force. Classification Of Active Exercise Free Exercise:  The working muscles are subject only to the forces of gravity acting upon the part moved or stabilized. Assisted Exercise: When muscle strength or coordination is inadequate to perform a movement an external force is applied to compensate for the deficiency. Assisted - resisted Exercise: Muscles may be strong enough to work against resistance in part of the range and not in others. This type of exercise ensures that the external forces applied are adopted in every part of the range to the abilities of the muscles. Resisted Exercise: The forces of resistance offered to the action of the working muscles are artificially and systematically increased to develop the power and endurance of the muscles. Free exercises are performed by the patient's own muscular effo

I’ve been training for almost 5 years at the gym now, and I’ve seen it all. Gymming is not easy? Every gym-going person and especially the one who is attending gym first time have so many questions in mind, right? Today we are going to discuss this. That Most 8 mistakes that as a Trainer and Physiotherapist I have heard from my clients. 1.  Focusing on numbers rather than technique This is a cardinal sin done by many, from the beginner just trying to get buff to the powerlifter trying to hit bigger numbers and everything in between. Chasing the next number is a natural human trait, and in the gym, the next number is a heavier weight to lift. Bigger numbers imply greater strength, which in turn implies greater feelings of accomplishment. via GIPHY Then there's the injury. The number one thing you should focus on in the gym is technique because if you make it a priority, you'll be less likely to sustain an injury. Furthermore, mobility is extremely important. If you can't get

A junction between 2 or more bones/cartilages is called a JOINT. Joint permits mobility and stability. A human skeletal has approximately more than 200 bones that are connected by joints. Also, joints help to form cavities like cranial, thoracic, abdominal & pelvic cavities. There are more joints in the child than in an adult because with age some bones fuse. CLASSIFICATION OF JOINTS: 1] STRUCTURAL CLASSIFICATION 1.Fibrous Joints -The bones are joined by fibrous tissue and these are mostly immovable or slightly movable joints. 3 Subtypes:- a) Sutures -They are present only in the “skull”. In this type, bones are connected by connective tissue called a sutural ligament. Fusion of bony components occurs later in life leading to the formation of bony union. In infants, there is an anatomical feature in the skull comprising soft membranous gaps called “FONTANELLE”. Eg: Suture between frontal & parietal bone, temporoparietal suture b) Syndesmosis In this type, bones are connected di

Searching on Google?  Due to COVID-19 And lockdown, People are using Search engines more at home. i got so many Questions for massage, and here we are talking about it.   Massage is used as a therapeutic modality to treat pain, swelling, muscle sprains, restricted movement, tension, and anxiety caused by a variety of disorders affecting the muscular, nervous, cardiorespiratory, and other systems. Massage's therapeutic value stems from its numerous and synergistic physiological effects. The effect of body massage is highly dependent on technique. Massage, whether manual or mechanical, applies pressure to and mechanically stimulates the various tissues that are approached during the application of a technique. It refers to the amount, duration, and direction of force applied during the massage. Massage's physiological effects can be divided into the following categories:  Effects on the circulatory system   Effects on blood  Effects on the exchange of nutritive elements  Effects

Therapeutic massage has a lot of benefits including Physiological and Anatomical. Generally, the application of any massage stroke involves six elements or considerations, which are depth, speed, rhythm, duration, direction, and frequency. All aspects are included in Principles of Giving Therapeutic massage. Principles of Applying Therapeutic massage Beginning massage therapists will have to consciously work at incorporating these considerations into their massage. With practice and experience, however, these considerations will become second nature, and the mechanical feeling will evolve into one of fluidity.  Depth  Depth or depth of pressure is the amount of force a stroke applies to the tissue. Regardless of what implement is used (thumb, the heel of the hand, or forearm), the amount of force you apply to the tissue depends on the desired result. If the stroke is performed with the intent of spreading lubricant, the depth of pressure will be less penetrating than if the intent is t
