Medical - Medical (general) / physiotherapy, physical therapy | | Dutch term or phrase: Fysiotherapie in engere zin | In the Netherlands, Physical Therapy is divided into three sections, massage, exercises and Fysiotherapie in engere zin (or fysiotechniek). This last section is the part of physical therapy that uses light, electricity, heat or water for therapeutical purposes, for instance ultrasound, ultra short waves, TENS,ultraviolet rays, etc.
Is there a term in English that covers this concept? |

Just an option...

21 mins confidence:   Physiotherapy therapies
Explanation:
It sounds from your description that you are describing different "physiotherapeutic / physiotherapy" therapies.
So light and electricity would fall under "eletrotherapy", heat obviously under "heat therapy" and water under "hydrotherapy", e.g.
A range of therapies
Physiotherapists draw upon a wide range of therapies, tailored to suit your individual needs. Some of these therapies include:
* Manual therapies - such as massage, stretching, manual resistance training, joint mobilisation and manipulation, including spinal mobilisation.
* Electrotherapy techniques - such as ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), laser therapy and diathermy.
* Exercise programs - such as posture retraining, muscle strengthening, cardiovascular training and stretching.
* Other services - taping and splinting, correcting flawed sporting techniques, providing or offering information on equipment aids such as wheelchairs and walking frames.

The other two would fall under "manual" (masssage) and exercise therapies.

I\'m not suggesting \"physiotherapy therapies\" as a solution (mainly because it sounds awful!!), just that you may need to use \"electrotherapy\", \"hydrotherapy\", etc., rather than a single phrase. Something like \"physical therapies, incl. electro- and hydrotherapy\", perhaps.

18 mins confidence:
26 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): -1 (more) specific Psysical Therapy
Explanation:
engere zin = stricto sensu in latin (strict sense/specific sense)
Here I'd use specific/more specific.
Good luck!

GOD! I spelled it wrong. Sorry!!!
Anyway... Physiotherapy - as suggested by others - is in my opinion better than your choice of Physical Therapy. Anyway, I'd stick to
(more) specific Physiotherapy.

1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +3 Electrotherapy
Explanation:
Hoewel we dat vroeger Fysiotherapie in engere zin noemden (in het stenen tijdperk waarin ik fysiotherapie studeerde), wordt het nu gewoon elektrotherapie genoemd. Eigenlijk omdat al deze therapiën "een stekker en een stopcontact" nodig hebben. Ook in de UK noemen ze het electrotherapy. Ik heb echter geen idee of dat voor de US ook geldt.
HTH,
Jacqueline (zelf fysiotherapeut)

Ah, in de US noemen ze het "treatment with electrophysical agents". Weer wat geleerd.

Het is je goed recht je eigen "winnaar" uit te kiezen, maar ik mag toch echt hopen dat dit niet in de glossary komt.
