Orthopedic Physiotherapy is a branch of physiotherapy which is concerned with the treatment of injuries or disorders of the musculoskeletal system(made up of muscles, bones, joints and ligaments of the body).
An orthopedic PT specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions and injuries that affect any part of your musculoskeletal system. This includes your muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, or connective tissues.

Most types of lower back pain are often referred to physical therapy as one of the first-line treatments. Physical therapy for low back pain includes guided therapeutic exercises that strengthen the lower back muscles and condition the spinal tissues and joints.
The exercises are intended to provide flexibility and strength training to the entire kinetic chain—groups of body segments, joints, and muscles that work together to perform bodily movements.
We use Mckenzie approach to treat back and neck pain.McKenzie Method is a specific approach to spinal problems, not only a set of exercises for back pain.
While there are specific exercises a McKenzie trained practitioner uses, the method also includes the overall philosophy and some special procedures:
Initial assessment procedures
Treatment for back problems (self-help and special procedures, if indicated)
Prevention strategies for back problems
