- Abstract
In this scenario, physical therapy and physical agent modalities (PAMs) have been combined with drug therapy since the dawn of rehabilitation approaches, allowing for a more prudent management even for the most fragile patients [[3]]. Conclusions In conclusion, the recent advances in PAMs for patients affected by musculoskeletal disorders have brought considerable challenges to clinical rehabilitation practice. In this scenario, the authors showed that r-ESWT combined with physical therapy appeared to be an active treatment in pain relief, consequently suggesting the requirement to outline a tailored rehabilitation plan, including physical therapy and other interventional PAMs, such as r-ESWT, in patients affected by musculoskeletal disorders. 36293017 3 Akyuz G., Kenis O.
