if your grades slip, you struggle with school or take a break/drop out entirely because of trauma: that’s okay. your wellbeing comes first. academics don’t define your intelligence or worth as a person
Because there’re scientifically proven benefits to improve health, let’s have a closer look at them.
Ultrasound therapy is an electrotherapy which has been used in physiotherapy practices since 1950s. It is when high frequency sound waves cause vibrations and movement of cellular fluids. Benefits of ultrasound therapy include improving the healing rate of certain soft tissues, as it: - Increases blood flow to an area in order to accelerate the resolution time of the inflammatory process. - Stimulates the production of collagen (the main protein in tendons and ligaments) during tissue healing.
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is muscle compression using electrical driving forces or impulses. In the 1960’s, Soviet sport scientists applied EMS in the training of their elite athletes, claiming 40% force gains. Nowadays it can be utilized as a strength training tool for healthy subjects and athletes; it could be used as a rehabilitation and preventive tool for people who are partially or totally immobilized; it could be utilized as a testing tool for evaluating the neural and/or muscular function; it could be used as a post-exercise recovery tool for athletes.
While EMS can be an effective tool in physical therapy and rehabilitation, it’s just one of many strategies employed by physical therapists, sports medicine physicians, and orthopedists. Other forms of therapy include: - muscle-strengthening exercises using weights, resistance bands, machines, and a person’s own body weight - massage - range-of-motion exercises - stretching and flexibility exercises - ice and heat treatments
All in all, all the methods mentioned above are tools, and should be used accordingly. That’s why when your doctor suggests physiotherapy sessions with EMS, ultrasound, and corrective exercises please keep in mind they all have proven benefits. Stay healthy
