What is Infrared light therapy? Infrared radiation therapy also called light therapy are use in physiotherapy to manage acute or chronic pain (mainly joint and muscle pain) in patients. In this therapy various wavelengths of light are focused to the parts of the body that have injuries. A key characteristic of infrared light is that…

Introduction: Definition of wavelength It is the distance between the two closet points on a wave that are performing the same motion at any instant in time. Definition of frequency It is the number of times a particle undergoes a complete cycle in one second. Definition of velocity It is a wave is the speed…

The basic principle of Interferential Therapy (IFT) is to utilise the significant physiological effects of low frequency (<250pps) electrical stimulation of nerves without the associated painful and somewhat unpleasant side effects sometimes associated with low-frequency stimulation. To produce low-frequency effects at sufficient intensity and at sufficient depth, patients can experience considerable discomfort in the superficial…
