A physiotherapist plays an important role in managing inflammation. They can assess the area of inflammation, develop an individualized treatment plan to reduce pain and swelling, and advise on lifestyle modification to help reduce inflammation. Physiotherapists can use manual therapy techniques such as massage, joint mobilizations, and stretching to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and promote healing. They can also provide advice on the use of heat and cold to reduce inflammation, and can teach exercises to strengthen weakened muscles and improve flexibility. Lastly, they can provide education on the importance of good nutrition and hydration to support the body's healing process.

Physiotherapists play an important role in the management of inflammation. They can provide hands-on therapies such as massage, joint mobilization, exercise and postural correction to reduce inflammation and improve mobility. They can also educate patients on proper posture, activity modification, and lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of developing inflammation. Additionally, they can provide advice on the use of assistive devices to help manage pain and improve function. Lastly, they may help patients to develop strategies for dealing with stress, which can contribute to inflammation.
