Physiotherapy is an essential branch of healthcare that focuses on the assessment, treatment, and prevention of physical impairments, pain, and movement disorders. It aims to restore optimal function and mobility by addressing the root cause of physical problems rather than only relieving symptoms. Physiotherapy is widely used in the management of musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain, neck pain, joint disorders, arthritis, and sports injuries, as well as in neurological conditions including stroke, paralysis, Parkinson’s disease, and spinal cord injuries. It also plays a vital role in post-surgical rehabilitation, helping patients recover strength, flexibility, and coordination after procedures such as joint replacements, fracture fixation, and spine surgery.

Physiotherapy treatment is highly personalized and begins with a detailed evaluation of the patient’s posture, movement patterns, muscle strength, joint mobility, and functional limitations. Based on this assessment, a customized treatment plan is developed, which may include therapeutic exercises to improve strength and flexibility, manual therapy techniques to reduce pain and stiffness, electrotherapy modalities such as ultrasound or TENS for pain relief, and heat or cold therapy to manage inflammation. Patient education is a core component of physiotherapy, empowering individuals with proper posture techniques, ergonomic advice, and home exercise programs to support long-term recovery and prevent recurrence of injury.
