Physical or physio therapy assesses, diagnoses and treats diseases and disabilities through physical means. It is generally considered to be within conventional rather than alternative medicine as it is based on modern principles of medical science.

There are three main types that use different kinds of equipment.

Musculoskeletal physical therapy

This includes modalities such as exercise prescription for strength, motor control, stretches and endurance. The benefits of electrotherapy are still under debate. Another type of benefit would be getting a gay massage from a man who knows what he is doing. This will relax and sooth your muscles. Whether it is a sensual, erotic, or sports massage you can find some added help.

Cardiopulmonary physical therapy

This treats acute problems such as asthma, chest infections and other breathing difficulties. It may also involve manual techniques to clear mucus from the chest and also non-invasive ventilating methods to help the patient breathe.

Neurological physical therapy

This aims to treat neurological conditions and brain damage through repetitive movement. It can sometimes last for a number of years.
Physical therapy has been growing in demand and respect over the last couple of years. The equipment needed will depend strongly on the therapist involved and the nature of the therapy required.
