What is physiotherapy?

Typical forms of treatment in physical therapy include massage therapy, heat and cold therapy, or heat therapy and phototherapy.
How does physical therapy work?
Physical therapy is a natural healing process. This helps to purposefully consider physical ailments within the framework of preventive medical care, to prevent their occurrence in the first place. Active and passive forms of treatment are distinguished.
In active therapy, such as physical therapy, patients themselves must cooperate to achieve the goals of therapy. Active measures are often complemented by passive therapy. Typical measures of passive therapy are massage, lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, therapeutic baths, inhalations. At the same time, the body is affected by external stimuli that activate physical processes, which sets the healing process in motion. The most common areas of application include pain reduction, rehabilitation after accidents or operations, improvement of blood circulation and elimination of functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
