Principles of Electrotherapy: Theory and Practice (Original Publisher)

Electrotherapy is a cornerstone of modern physiotherapeutic practice, offering non-invasive solutions for pain relief, muscle re-education, tissue healing, and functional recovery. Principles of Electrotherapy: Theory and Practice delivers a balanced blend of foundational science and hands-on clinical application, making it an indispensable resource for physiotherapy students, practicing clinicians, sports rehabilitation experts, and physical medicine educators.

This book demystifies key electrotherapy modalities—such as TENS, NMES, IFC, and ultrasound therapy—and explores their physiological effects, therapeutic indications, and contraindications. Grounded in current evidence and written in an easy-to-follow structure, it bridges the gap between classroom theory and clinical effectiveness.
