Orthopedic Physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy focused on diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating musculoskeletal disorders that affect the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and soft tissues. This type of physiotherapy aims to restore movement, reduce pain, improve strength, and enhance the overall function of the musculoskeletal system. 

Sprains and Strains:

• Sprain: Injury to ligaments (the tissues connecting bones).
• Strain: Injury to muscles or tendons (the tissues connecting muscles to bones).
• Physiotherapy Goal: Reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling; improve flexibility and strength; and restore function.

Fractures:

• Description: A break in a bone due to trauma or other underlying conditions (e.g., osteoporosis).
• Physiotherapy Goal: Regain strength, flexibility, and joint movement after the fracture has healed. Prevent complications like stiffness or muscle atrophy.

Osteoarthritis (OA):

• Description: A degenerative joint disease causing pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility, commonly affecting the knees, hips, and spine.
• Physiotherapy Goal: Reduce pain, maintain or improve joint mobility, and increase muscle strength around the affected joint to support it.
