Physiotherapy OPD
The Physiotherapy OPD is equipped with the latest equipments which are used to rehabilitate a patient. The students through OPD practicals would learn how to treat patients with physical disabilities and injuries in a range of settings including hospitals, health centres, private practices and sports clubs under the proper guidance of a specialist. The OPD is located in Block-D on the ground floor.
- IFT and IRR lamp therapy: The IFT therapy is used for patients with chronic pain, e.g. low back pain, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue healing. The Infrared (IRR) radiation in physical therapy acts as a superficial heating modality (thermotherapy) to reduce pain, increase blood flow, and accelerate tissue repair.
- Ultrasound therapy: It delivers deep heat and micro-vibrations to soft tissues. Common uses include reducing joint stiffness, alleviating chronic pain, increasing localized blood circulation, breaking down scar tissue, and treating muscle spasms.
- Trapezius muscle stretching exercise: Trapezius muscle stretches, such as ear-to-shoulder tilts, upper trap stretches, and shoulder blade squeezes, are used to relieve tension headaches, reduce neck stiffness, and improve upper body posture.
- Cupping therapy: It relieves muscle tension, alleviates chronic pain (back, neck, knee), reduces inflammation, and improves blood circulation.
- Goniometer: A goniometer is a portable tool used in rehabilitation to measure joint angles and assess range of motion (ROM), identifying limitations caused by injuries or fracture cases.
