Orthopedic Physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. This type of physiotherapy is primarily aimed at addressing issues related to bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. The goal is to improve movement, reduce pain, enhance function, and prevent future injuries, helping patients regain strength, mobility, and quality of life.

Therapeutic Exercise:

• Exercise is a cornerstone of orthopedic physiotherapy. Specific exercises are designed to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, enhance endurance, and restore function in the affected area. This may include:
  • Strengthening exercises
  • Stretching routines
  • Range-of-motion exercises
  • Balance and coordination training

Heat and Cold Therapy:

• Cold therapy (cryotherapy) is often used to reduce swelling and pain in the acute phase of an injury, while heat therapy can help relax muscles, increase blood flow, and alleviate chronic pain.

Electrical Stimulation:

• Electrical modalities like TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) or ultrasound therapy can be used to reduce pain, promote muscle healing, and improve circulation in the injured area.
