RPhysiotherapy employs various techniques like manual therapy, massage, and ultrasonic therapy to reduce pain and inflammation. These therapies affect the affected areas, producing increased blood flow, healing, and muscle relaxation.

2. Restoration of Mobility and Flexibility

Pain generally causes stiffness and restricted movement. It is increased by patterned movement normalization, joint mobilization, physiotherapists' movement therapy, and stretching exercise. It is highly effective in frozen shoulder, lumbago, or post-operative management.
