Physiotherapy: what is it used for?
- Back, neck, shoulder and joint pain: physiotherapy is among the treatments recommended in clinical guidelines.
- Rehabilitation after surgery and after sports injuries, which is also a recognised standard treatment.
- Chronic pain: studies show that active exercise can help people cope better with pain.
- Tension headaches, jaw problems and muscle tension, where there are some positive studies.
- Posture problems, where targeted training can help.
- Breathing problems and lymphoedema, treated by physiotherapists with specialist training.
How well is the effect supported?
Complaints for which this method is commonly used, sorted by the state of research. The rating shows how well the effect is supported, not whether it will help you.

The rating covers the research, not the therapist.
- Established
Back pain
Exercise therapy relieves chronic back pain clearly better than no treatment.
- Established
Joint pain
Strengthening and exercise are the core treatment for knee and hip osteoarthritis. They ease pain and improve function, on average to a small degree.
- Established
Neck pain
Movement and targeted strengthening work best. Guidelines recommend them first.
- Established
Rehabilitation after surgery
A standard part of aftercare, e.g. after joint replacement. After knee replacement it improves function in the short term; long-term benefits are less clear.

effect shown in studies, with limitations
- Partly supported
Breathing problems
Breathing exercises can improve quality of life and symptoms in mild to moderate asthma.
- Partly supported
Muscle tension
Targeted strengthening exercises ease chronic neck pain. Stretching alone does little.
- Partly supported
Posture problems
Strengthening exercises ease neck and back pain. Whether they change posture permanently has hardly been studied.
- Partly supported
Pregnancy complaints
Tailored exercises reduce back pain and sick leave. Some of the evidence is of low quality.
- Partly supported
Shoulder pain
Exercise therapy is standard. In one trial it was no better than placebo, but it was about as good as an injection or surgery.
Limited evidence · 2 more complaints
few or weak studies
- Limited evidence
Headache
Exercises and manual therapy for the neck and shoulders are often used. The evidence is weak.
- Limited evidence
Jaw problems
Jaw exercises and manual therapy may help. However, the studies are of low quality and uncertainty is high.
