Abstract: A reconfigurable physical therapy apparatus and a method of providing operator-selected stimuli to a patient are provided. The apparatus preferably has a physical therapy applicator including a transducer for applying a therapeutic treatment to a patient, and a memory for storing identification data representative of a plurality of physical ailments for each of a plurality of human body areas and a set of transducer operational parameters associated with each predetermined physical ailment and each predetermined body area. The apparatus also has an ailment display screen responsive to the memory device for displaying at least one of the identification data representative of a plurality of physical ailments which are associated with at least one of the identified human body areas. An ailment selector is positioned in electrical communication with at least the memory device and being responsive to operator selection of one of the identified physical ailments which are associated with human body areas for obtaining the associated transducer operational parameters. The apparatus further has a transducer reconfigurer positioned in electrical communication with the transducer of the applicator and being responsive to the ailment selector for reconfiguring the transducer to provide therapeutic treatment to the identified body part according to the obtained transducer operational parameters.
