Science of Physiotherapy:
- Physiotherapy restores the movements and functions of body,However this is like the tip of the iceberg submerged inside the sea.
- Tip is only visible,the big part is submerged and is not visible.
- It is based on pain (i.e neurology).It is sensed through the tiny sensors in body.
- By passing electrical signal to the mind it initiates pain in the body.
- It focuses mainly on theorizing,hypothesize and observe the movement,functions and pain in the body.
- Thus helping the client by giving proper treatments like taping,massage,treatment using modern technologies,various therapies like water therapy etc,exercise which emphasizes the movement of the body.
- The Science of pain is that receptor in the skin cells transmit the pain signal to the nerve network which is transferred through the spinal cord and finally reaches into the brain.
- The brain then translates the signal and give the message “ouch”.
- Brain can alter the shape when they learn new things.so there is a change of altering the shape of brain chemically ,this is useful for curing chronic pains
- Some research that the pain message is stored in memory so they tried to clear the memory ,they tested in mice and it’s a yes.But it is dangerous in human point of view.
- Then they found that the same nerve cell transfer the signal that dog fur is soft and dog claws hurts.
- From this they found that we can fool the receptors that is called as sensory illusions.
