What are physical medicine and rehabilitation?
Physical medicine and rehabilitation treats injuries and functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system. It includes various therapies such as exercises, manual techniques, electrotherapy, heat and cold therapy. The aim is to relieve pain, restore function and mobility, build up muscles and support recovery. Psychological support and counseling play an important role in holistic rehabilitation and a return to an active lifestyle.
