Electrotherapy / Electrophysical Agents (APAs)[edit | edit source]

Electrophysical agents (EPAs) are those modalities that administer thermal, mechanical, electrical or light energy to the patient to provide physiological effects and therapeutic benefits. Physiotherapists use these as an adjunct to other treatment and management techniques in most situations.
