AB Modalities  are  physical  agents  used  to  produce  a  therapeutic  change  in  tissue.1  These  agents  are  typically  used  in  conjunction  with  a  comprehensive  treatment  plan.  Their  use  starts  with  a  modality  prescription  (Table  76–1).  The  prescription  is  then  utilized  to  follow  through  with  the  application  of  the  specific  modalities.  This  chapter  will  discuss  those  modalities,  physiology,  applications,  and  evidence  for  their  use.
