physical therapy techniques

Physical therapy techniques involve targeted exercises, manual methods, and equipment to improve movement, reduce pain, and restore function. Techniques include gentle stretches to increase flexibility, strengthening exercises to support muscles and joints, and manual therapy where therapists use their hands to manipulate tissues for better mobility. Modalities like heat, cold, or electrical stimulation might be used to reduce inflammation and pain. The goal is to help individuals recover from injury, surgery, or manage ongoing conditions, enhancing overall mobility and quality of life through personalized, evidence-based approaches.
