When Physiotherapy Is Not About Removing Pain First
Pain is one of the most common reasons people seek help from a physiotherapist. It is therefore natural that many expect treatment to focus primarily on making the pain disappear as quickly as possible. In some cases, pain relief is also an important early goal. However, reducing pain is not always the first or most important focus in physiotherapy. Treatment is often just as much about function, confidence, load tolerance, and gradual return to activity.
