Top Physiotherapy Modalities Every Orthopaedic Patient Should Know

Physiotherapy plays a vital role in the recovery and rehabilitation of orthopaedic patients. Whether it’s post-surgical care, injury recovery, or chronic musculoskeletal conditions, physiotherapy modalities help restore function, reduce pain, and improve mobility. Here’s a breakdown of the most commonly used techniques in orthopaedic practice:

Heat Therapy

• Purpose: Increases blood flow, relaxes muscles, and reduces joint stiffness.
• Common uses: Osteoarthritis, muscle spasms, and chronic pain.
• Types: Hot packs, paraffin wax baths, infrared therapy.

Cold Therapy (Cryotherapy)

• Purpose: Reduces inflammation, swelling, and acute pain.
• Common uses: Post-operative swelling, sprains, and acute injuries.
• Types: Ice packs, cold compresses, cryo chambers.

Electrical Stimulation (TENS & NMES)

• TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): Used for pain relief.
• NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation): Stimulates muscle contraction to prevent atrophy.
• Applications: Post-surgical rehab, muscle re-education, chronic pain management.

Ultrasound Therapy

• Purpose: Promotes tissue healing and reduces inflammation.
• Mechanism: Uses sound waves to penetrate deep tissues.
• Common uses: Tendonitis, bursitis, ligament injuries.

Traction

• Purpose: Relieves pressure on spinal discs and joints.
• Types: Cervical and lumbar traction.
• Indications: Herniated discs, nerve impingement, spinal stenosis.

Manual Therapy

• Includes: Joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, and myofascial release.
• Benefits: Improves range of motion, reduces pain, and enhances circulation.

Therapeutic Exercise

• Core of physiotherapy: Strengthens muscles, improves balance, and restores function.
• Tailored programs: Based on injury type, surgical procedure, and patient goals.

Laser and Light Therapy

• Purpose: Stimulates cellular repair and reduces inflammation.
• Applications: Tendinopathies, wound healing, and post-op recovery.

Hydrotherapy

• Water-based exercises: Reduce joint stress while improving strength and flexibility.
• Ideal for: Arthritis, post-joint replacement, and spinal conditions.
