Cool huh? Has signboard for every room..hehe...

Eletro room basically treats spine and shoulder problems...
In electro, we can see many patients which has frozen shoulder, shoulder impingement, PID, spondylolisthesis, spondylosis and etc...
Patients coming into this room usually do hot pack, traction, infra red, ultra sound and also exercises taught by the physiotherapist there..



This is the electro room..its the biggest among all rooms in the physio dept

Next will be GYM...
There are many many exercise machine in the gym...Gym focus more on the lower limb which is the leg...People who are suffering from lower limb prob will usually come to the gym...Most patient who come to the gym suffers from plantar fascitis, OA knee, RA, post-op and etc....these are the most common conditions can be seen in the gym....







The hand room is kinda small and packed...
Luckily the number of patients in the room are not many...haha...if not, the room will be like "PASAR"...hehe...
Patients coming in here usually suffers from trigger finger, carpal tunnel syndrome, golfer's elbow, tennis's elbow, colles's fracture and etc...
The most common treatment seen in the hand room will be WAX...hehe...
Most of the patient know what they must do...
1st : Wash their hands and dry them
2nd : Dip the injured part into the wax a few times
3rd : wrap the part with plastic bag n cloth
The patients are even better than us students...haha...
