INTRODUCTION Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints worldwide and a leading cause of disability. While spinal structures like intervertebral discs often receive attention, growing research highlights the crucial role of surrounding musculature—especially the gluteal muscles—in preventing and managing back pain. Understanding and addressing gluteal muscle dysfunction can significantly reduce the burden of chronic and recurrent low back pain. A

Treating Cervicogenic Headaches with Physiotherapy Cervicogenic headaches are a type of headache that originates from the neck, often caused by poor posture, neck strain, or joint and muscle dysfunction in the upper cervical spine. Unlike migraines or tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches typically start at the base of the skull and may spread to one side of the head, often accompanied by neck pain and reduced mobility. Physiotherapy offers a safe, drug-free, and effectiv

Physiotherapy for Stroke Recovery in Patients with High Blood Pressure High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of stroke, and recovery after a stroke can be challenging without proper rehabilitation. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in helping stroke survivors regain movement, strength, and independence while reducing the risk of complications and future strokes.
