Physiotherapy treats patients using electrical modalities, exercises, and soft tissue manipulation. It focuses on specialized areas like sports injuries, orthopedics, neurology, and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. Sports physiotherapy helps athletes recover from injuries. Common sports injuries include tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, muscle pulls, runner's knee, and ankle sprains. Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, causes pain on the outside of the elbow often in tennis players, cricketers, and weightlifters. Physiotherapy treatments for tennis elbow include ice, heat, ultrasound, stretching, strengthening exercises, and bracing.
