The main goal of physical therapy is to restore a person's ability to move and reduce pain caused by injuries, illness, or deformities. The three main types of physical therapy treatments include sports physiotherapy, rehabilitative physiotherapy, and musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Sports physiotherapy is an arm of physiotherapy treatment that treats injured athletes. It's concerned with reducing injury risk and enhancing athletic performance. Rehabilitative physiotherapy aims to improve your function and performance in daily life. It also helps prevent or limit the changes that may happen to your body due to prolonged inactivity. Musculoskeletal physiotherapy provides treatment to relieve issues that affect the joints, muscles, and bones. Musculoskeletal physiotherapists might recommend a physical therapy program that focuses on restoring flexibility, range of motion, strength, and endurance.
