Using current occupational therapy terminology and philosophy, this text establishes the theoretical basis and clinical reasoning for the use of physical agent modalities in practice. The biophysiological effects of the modalities are identified and discussed alongside their impact on function and performance. Relevant to both students and practitioners, it educates on the proper, safe, and judicious use of physical agent modalities while treating clients.
