Physiotherapy is the form of treatment that uses physical measures rather than drugs or surgery in the treatment of disease or disability. Every hospital and primary care facility has a Physiotherapy Department. Physiotherapy treatments are tailored to the needs of the individual, and play a major role in the rehabilitation of patients after an illness, accident or operation. Professional physiotherapists and physical rehabilitation therapists can use a variety of treatment including:
Exercise - they are categorised into three types each used depending of the therapy program
Passive exercise - Stiffness prevention  with movement of  joints and ease joint congestion.
Active exercise - the patient is taught a series of graduated exercises that are performed under the supervision of the physiotherapist.
Isometric exercise - the patient tenses a muscle repeatedly without moving it especially when a joint is immobilized, for example, by plaster.
Electrical Treatment (Diathermy) - is used to relieve the pain of stiff, arthritic joints and muscles spasms and uses short- wave electricity to produce heat within the tissues.
Ultrasound - is frequently used for sports injuries. It uses a very high frequency sound wave to treat acute soft tissue injuries by stimulating the healing processes.
Heat & Cold Treatment - it is especially beneficial immediately after an injury because it helps to reduce swelling and promote healing. Heat treatment (Thermotherapy) is given to ease muscle spasm, to relieve pain and improve circulation, by heat lamps or hot pads. Cold treatment involves applying ice packs or cold sprays to reduce pain and inflammation and relieve congestion and bruising.
Hydrotherapy - exercises are performed in water which supports the body’s weight.
Massage - to relax the patient, reduce tissue swelling, ease muscle spasm and to break down tense muscular nodules.
