Muscular pain, also known as myalgia, can result from various causes such as overuse, injury, poor posture, stress, or conditions like fibromyalgia. Managing muscular pain effectively is important to restore function, reduce discomfort, and prevent chronic pain from developing. Physiotherapy provides several techniques and approaches to manage muscular pain, helping patients recover and regain mobility.

• What it is: Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques like massage and soft tissue mobilization to alleviate muscle tension, promote relaxation, and improve blood flow to the affected muscles.
• How it works: A physiotherapist will use their hands to apply pressure, stretch, or manipulate the soft tissues of the muscles to release tightness and reduce pain.
• Indications: Muscle strains, tension headaches, lower back pain, neck pain, and conditions causing muscle tightness.
• Benefits: Reduces muscle tension, improves circulation, speeds up recovery, and provides immediate pain relief.
