and Gynaecology.
Pelvic inflammation cases can be treated by the Physiotherapist.
In Obstetrics cases it has now been established that ante-natal
and post-natal exercises play an important role in the toning
up of the pelvic floor muscles and posture.
a) Pre (From 5th month) and Post natal (From 2nd day if no
complications) exercises (before & after delivery)

c) Pelvic Inflammation
d) Special exercises for women above 45years for osteoporosis
etc. |

|
| |
E.N.T Conditions: |
| |
| Short wave diathermy with special electrodes is given to
treat frontal and maxillary sinus cases. Chronic allergic
rhinitis is treated with Ionization. |
|
| |
|
| |
Skin Conditions: |
| |
a) Vitiligo (White Patches).
b) Burns.
c) Wounds are treated by special modalities.
These cases can be treated with Ultraviolet rays, LASER therapy.
Vitiligo is lately treated by Phonophoresis (Introduction
of certain drugs into the skin by electrical stimulation). |

Geriatric
Conditions: |
| |
 Aches
and pains are more common in old age. Osteoporosis, muscles
fatigue, stiffness of the joints, frequent falls, imbalance,

Sitting in one position for long hours can cause Back, Knee,
Calf muscle, and Foot pain.
Headache is another problem.
All such CRP can be minimized or nullified by Physiotherapy.
Ergonomics i.e. work postures is very important, arms should
be supported at 90 degrees and wrist at 20 degrees extension,
knees at 90 degrees and feet slightly upward.
Warm up exercises for neck, back, Shoulder, elbow, wrists
& fingers, knees; foot etc. must be done.
Do not sit for more than 45 minutes at a stretch in one position.
If ergonomics is given importance and priority in offices
and industries, then work output will be more and healthy
with less absentism. |
