Only the body louse is known to spread disease. Lice infestations (pediculosis and pthiriasis) are spread most commonly by close person-to-person contact. Dogs, cats, and other pets do not play a role in the transmission of human lice. Lice move by crawling; they cannot hop or fly.
Physical therapy and recovery from injury. Physical therapy can help you recover from an injury and avoid future injury. Your physical therapist can help you reduce pain in the soft tissues (muscles, tendons, and ligaments), build muscle strength, and improve flexibility, function, and range of motion.
A physical therapist (PT) is a healthcare professional who is trained to evaluate and treat problems related to movement and function. In our clinic, the physical therapists have experience working with persons with ALS and other neuromuscular diseases, and are familiar with many of the specific issues they may have.
