Physiotherapy is an important component of the treatment regimen for rheumatoid arthritis, and is aimed mainly at reducing pain and preserving function. Depending on the severity of the disease and the clinical picture, physiotherapy, ergotherapy, hydrotherapy and heat treatment, as well as massage and electrotherapy may all be considered. When properly applied, these treatments have the advantage of being free of side effects. Scientific proof of effectiveness is often lacking in physical medicine, which clearly represents a challenge to the discipline in the years to come.

The use of various electrotherapeutic modalities in physiotherapy is known to offer beneficial effects for patients for whom the modality has been found to be clinically suitable. However, there are a few grey areas that need to be addressed in order to maximize the benefits derived from the use of these modalities. Though these modalities have direct benefits for the patients, the physiotherapist, support staff and students, and even the patient are exposed to some danger from, or related to, their use, unless certain safety precautions are instituted. This article presents the potential dangers associated with different electrotherapeutic modalities and the possible preventive measures that could be undertaken to protect individuals likely to be exposed to these dangers.KEYWORDS: hazards, safety, precaution, electrotherapy
