Illness or accident may impair the normal functions of the musculoskeletal system (joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments). In order to maximise functionality to one’s best, impairments or disabilities are treated not only medically or surgically but by physical therapy as well. Physical therapy specialists provide an individual action plan for each patient. Most common and effective therapies are massages, physiotherapy, heat and cold application, electrotherapy and ultrasound application.
