Is it time to put electrophysical agents back in the physical therapy toolbox?

It’s time to smash the myths about electrophysical agents (EPAs) and put them back in the physical therapy toolbox where they belong. That will be the message from one of the profession’s leading names in EPA research, in an agenda-setting session at the WCPT Congress in May.

Here is also another beatiful website on electrotherapy.

electrotherapy.org

Electrotherapy on the Web provides current, non commercial information on various aspects of Electrotherapy. It is not presented as a replacement for current texts but attempts to provide an independent view of the current state of the art. The range of pages and topics continues to expand, and some of the long standing pages get updated whenever I can. There are still some new pages to write and new developments to add all the time.

The website is sponsored by Indiba Activ, to whom grateful thanks are extended.

The Resource - Physical Therapy Modalities Manual

A great modalities manual that explains in simple terms all the modalities used in Physical Therapy. It is true that these modalities are losing ground against manual therapy, kinesiotherapy and other more manual techniques, but it would be wrong to completely deny their use and effect on the human body. Anyhow, a good Physical Therapists should have all the possible tools in his arsenal and use each one when appropriate. Not every body is the same and or responds in the same way to every modality. Sp, the challenge for the Physical Therapist is to recognise and identify which tool can be effective is each case.
