What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a personalized form of active and passive movement therapy aiming to reduce pain, restore mobility, strengthen muscles, improve joint range of motion, and support recovery after injuries or surgical procedures.

Why is physiotherapy recommended?

Physiotherapy plays a key role in:

  • reducing musculoskeletal pain,
  • rehabilitation after injuries and surgeries,
  • correcting postural disorders,
  • preventing and treating sports injuries.

It is especially important after regenerative treatments, such as prolotherapy, PRP therapy, and stem cell treatments, as physiotherapy:

  • enhances the effectiveness of these procedures,
  • supports tissue healing and regeneration,
  • contributes to long-term functional recovery.

In cases of spinal disc herniation, physiotherapy:

  • reduces pain and neurological symptoms,
  • strengthens core muscles,
  • improves spinal stability,
  • may help avoid surgery or speed up post-operative recovery.

Preliminary examinations

Before starting therapy, a detailed assessment is performed, including:

  • review of medical history,
  • evaluation of current complaints,
  • movement, muscle strength and posture examination,
  • assessment of imaging results (MRI, CT, X-ray), if available.

Available treatment methods

  • individualized physiotherapy programs,
  • spinal rehabilitation,
  • core stabilization exercises,
  • stretching and mobilization techniques,
  • functional movement training,
  • breathing therapy.

Additional treatment options

  • manual therapy,
  • soft tissue techniques,
  • kinesiology taping,
  • electrotherapy and other physical therapy modalities.

Chances of effectiveness

The effectiveness of physiotherapy depends on:

  • accurate diagnosis,
  • duration of symptoms,
  • patient cooperation,
  • consistency of home exercise programs.

With proper therapy, significant and lasting improvement can be achieved in most cases.

Preparation

  • Wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement.
  • Bring previous medical documentation if available.

After the treatment

  • Mild muscle soreness may occur.
  • Adequate hydration is recommended.
  • Regular performance of prescribed home exercises is essential for long-term improvement.

Risks and possible complications

Physiotherapy is generally a safe treatment method. Rarely, the following may occur:

  • temporary increase in pain,
  • muscle fatigue,
  • joint overuse.

Risks of physiotherapy treatment

In rare cases, patients may experience:

  • muscle tenderness,
  • a feeling of tension,
  • temporary transformation of symptoms and their relocation to another muscle or muscle group.
