Physiotherapy is the use of devices (modalities) to treat a wide variety of conditions. We use moist heat, cold (cryo), mechanical traction/ pressure, and muscle electric stim (EMS) to help the body heal. Not all treatments can be used for all patients or all conditions. Only Dr. Loperfito or the attending physician can make that decision. Physiotherapy is NOT the same as physical therapy. Physical therapists can use the same modalities to treat patients. Physical therapy is a profession, while physiotherapy is a form of treatment.
