The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge of the general principles of physical therapy, thermotherapy, hydrotherapy, mechanotherapy, and phototherapy, and to develop practical skills in applying these therapeutic procedures. In the practical part of the course, students become familiar with individual therapeutic procedures, the principles of their safe application, the selection of appropriate parameters, and the assessment of patient response and treatment effects. This course will continue following semester as a Physical Therapy II.
