Physiotherapy, and in particular musculoskeletal rehabilitation, are health disciplines that deal with the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of physical problems affecting the musculoskeletal system.
They are based on the use of therapeutic exercises, manual techniques, electrotherapy and other non-pharmacological treatment modalities to reduce pain, restore functionality and improve the quality of life of patients.
Physiotherapy and musculoskeletal rehabilitation are particularly useful for those who have suffered trauma, surgery, sports injuries or who suffer from chronic conditions such as rheumatological conditions.
Additionally, these treatments are often used to prevent injuries or improve athletic performance.
