How can physiotherapy help nerve compression?

This can be done through a variety of techniques such as:

Manual therapy, such as soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilization, to help reduce the compression on the nerve.

Exercises to improve strength, flexibility and range of motion of the affected area, which can help to reduce the compression on the nerve.

Specific stretching and positioning to help relieve the compression on the nerve

Electrotherapy modalities like ultrasound, TENS, interferential therapy which can help to reduce pain and inflammation, and improve the function of the affected area.

How can physiotherapy help post surgery?

Physiotherapy can help post-surgery by assisting in the rehabilitation and recovery process. This can include exercises to help improve range of motion, strength, and flexibility. Physiotherapists can also use techniques such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and heat/cold therapy to help reduce pain and inflammation, and to promote healing. Additionally, physiotherapists can provide education and guidance on proper posture, body mechanics, and activities of daily living to help prevent re-injury and promote optimal recovery.
