The important role of physical therapy in modern medicine

I. The connection between physiotherapy and various fields of medicine

The penetration and application of modern science and technology in biology and medicine have greatly promoted the development of modern biology and medicine. People have deepened their understanding of the nature and basic laws of life activities, and have deepened their understanding of many complex physiological and pathological changes in organisms and the human body. They have even established new concepts for many problems. Among many major advances, an important aspect is that modern science has further revealed that physical factors are closely related to complex life activities and play an important role in them. In the generation and development of life, in the reaction of the body to changes in the external environment, in the generation and development of some pathological changes, and in the process of chemical drugs acting on the body, physical changes play an extremely important role, such as electron transfer, changes in electric potential, changes in magnetic fields, changes in infrared radiation intensity, generation of ultraviolet radiation, fluorescein, etc.; some functional activities, including the metabolism of proteins and nucleic acids, are accompanied by a certain oscillation frequency; biomedical theoretical research and long-term practice have prompted people to increasingly deeply understand the close connection between artificial physical factors, natural physical factors and physical changes in the body. The scientific application of artificial physical factors to the body has a wide range of significance. Therefore, the development trend of contemporary physical therapy is increasingly closely linked with clinical medicine, preventive medicine, rehabilitation medicine, military medicine, basic medicine, geriatrics, aerospace medicine, biomedical engineering, etc.

II. The relationship between the development of modern clinical therapy and physical therapy

The development of modern clinical therapy in most countries in the world has the following common characteristics:

1. Countries pay more attention to the combination of prevention and treatment

2. Scientific comprehensive treatment is generally implemented for various diseases

3. Continuous treatment is implemented in stages, the purpose is not only to treat the disease, but also to restore the patient's health and labor ability as soon as possible.

The formation of the above-mentioned main characteristics of the development of clinical therapy (including various clinical specialties) is not only closely related to the improvement of the current social and economic level and the development of science and culture, but also related to the development of physical therapy, physical therapy, convalescence and rehabilitation medicine. Therefore, many countries believe that physical therapy, physical therapy and convalescence play a very important role in the prevention, treatment and post-illness rehabilitation of diseases.
