The most common type of physiotherapy is manual therapy, which involves using hands-on techniques such as massage, joint mobilization, and stretching to improve mobility and reduce pain. Other forms of manual therapy include trigger point therapy, which focuses on releasing tight muscles, and myofascial release, which helps to reduce tension in the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding the muscles.

Another type of physiotherapy is exercise-based therapy, which uses a variety of exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and balance. This therapy may include specialized equipment such as weights, resistance bands, and treadmills.

Other types of physiotherapy include hydrotherapy, which uses water to help reduce pain and improve mobility, and electrotherapy, which uses electrical stimulation to reduce pain and improve muscle function.

Finally, therapeutic modalities such as ultrasound, laser therapy, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) are also used. These modalities can help to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and reduce pain.
