Hi there, good question. Yes, in my experience physiotherapy definitely helps with pain relief. However, you need to first diagnose what the pain is and where it is coming from. If you do decide to use physiotherapy in your treatment plan, it is advisable to follow through with the exercises that are recommended. Please have a read of the following blog I wrote which is how doctors can work with physiotherapists. It will also give you a good idea as to what your physiotherapist should do when they first see you, if you don't know already. Cheers, Nathan.
