What is physical therapy??

Physical therapy is a branch of medicine that deals with the application of physical methods. It is used by various fields of medicine, including orthopaedics, neurology, cardiology, pulmonology, geriatrics, paediatrics, oncology or rheumatology. The goals of therapy are to reduce pain, improve range of motion, increase muscle strength, restore function, accelerate healing and improve the patient's overall health. Physical therapy can be used both as a stand-alone treatment method and in combination with other therapeutic methods, such as pharmacotherapy, surgery or behavioural therapy.

What factors does physical therapy use?

Physical therapy uses physical phenomena such as light, electricity, ultrasound, magnetic fields and temperature changes. The patient's organism responds to these stimuli, speeding up regeneration processes. Local cryotherapy stimulates the immune system and stimulates the body to fight back. In this way, it combats swelling, inflammation of various causes and exudates after injuries. In addition, it stimulates tissue renewal and healing processes, which is why it is often used as an auxiliary treatment in various injuries, including after sports-related injuries.

Types of physical therapy

Among the many methods of physical therapy, the following deserve special attention:

Laser radiation uses the properties of laser light to treat a variety of conditions. It is recommended to patients primarily for the relief of pain caused by trauma (fractures, sprains, connective tissue contusions and joint capsule injuries). It is also good for relieving rheumatoid pain, pain associated with pathological changes in the spine, with joint strain and for the treatment of neuralgia. In addition, laser therapy has an anti-inflammatory effect and stimulates the formation of new tissue, which is why it is used in cases of wounds that are difficult to heal and bones that do not knit together for a long time.

Local cryotherapy, or cold therapy, is another type of physical therapy. Low temperatures cause blood vessels to contract and slow down blood flow. Low-temperature physical therapy is most commonly used for pain relief, for injuries and degenerative diseases and as part of osteoporosis prevention. The treatment consists of cooling the affected area with liquid nitrogen or liquid ethyl chloride. The temperature used in this therapy reaches up to -176 degrees Celsius. Cold therapy at MTS Holistic Therapy is performed using a special device designed for local cryotherapy.

Magnetic field has a therapeutic effect on pain and inflammation of various origins. It is used in the treatment of inflammation of abdominal organs, in complaints related to rheumatoid lesions and after injuries. It stimulates the immune system, relieves pain and inflammation and improves blood flow, stimulating the formation of new cells and tissues.

Ultrasonotherapy uses ultrasound waves to treat illnesses and injuries. This type of physical therapy has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. It is used for muscle and joint inflammation and to relieve discomfort caused by osteoarthritis and rheumatic diseases.

Manual therapy, which includes massage, joint and muscle mobilisation and stretching. Used to reduce pain, improve range of motion, increase muscle strength and improve function.

Hydrotherapy is one of the oldest and most extensive methods of physical therapy, consisting of the therapeutic application of water in the form of baths, showers, showers, washes, rinses and other treatments.

Benefit from Game Ready topical cryotherapy for fast and comfortable pain relief and a return to daily activities

How does the Game Ready topical cryotherapy device work?

Physical therapy is also a branch of physical medicine that uses various types of technology and devices to treat illness and injury. One of the devices used in physical therapy is one that allows cooling and simultaneous mechanical compression of damaged tissues. With this combination, we have the ability to effectively treat injuries, reduce pain and accelerate tissue regeneration.

The system consists of a sleeve or cuff that is worn over the affected area of the body. The sleeve is filled with water, which circulates in a closed circuit to keep the temperature down. During the therapy, the sleeve is mechanically compressed, allowing simultaneous lymphatic massage and increased cooling efficiency.

Game Ready topical cryotherapy system is often used in the treatment of sports injuries such as contusions, sprains or muscle strains. The device can also help treat post-traumatic swelling, joint pain and other musculoskeletal conditions.

What is included in the system?

The system consists of a control panel, a connector, i.e. a connector that conducts air and water, and specially designed welts - sleeves for specific parts of the body. The unit is filled with ordinary ice. A comfortable, tight-fitting bandage is placed over the injured part of the patient's body. When activated, the unit pumps icy water into the bandage and simultaneously applies pressure to the injured area. This system significantly speeds up recovery through an effective combination of active cold and pulsed pneumatic compression.
