“What is physiotherapy?” It's a more common question in clinics than you might expect. So let's try to summarise this profession, which is as current as it is complex. Using the definition World Physiotherapy International as a base:

Physiotherapy is often associated with recovery from injury, surgery or an acute episode of pain. However, contemporary physiotherapy goes far beyond this limited vision. Rather than treating an injured structure, it focuses on understanding the mechanism of injury, analysing movement and the body's ability to adapt to the physical and contextual demands of everyday life.

In clinical practice, this implies:

• understanding the mechanism of injury and movement behaviour;

• interpret the severity, the period of evolution and estimate recovery based on the available scientific evidence;

• modulate pain and restore function through technology, manual therapy and clinical exercise;

• consider the emotional needs and individual context of each person.

It's not just about recovering what has been lost, but restoring function and increasing the resilience of the system as a whole.

What is physiotherapy anyway?

In clinical practice, physiotherapy begins with a detailed assessment that seeks to understand not only where it hurts, but how the person moves, how they react to the load, what compensation strategies they have developed and what beliefs they hold about their pain.

The educational role is fundamental. Explaining what is happening, clarifying the meaning of complementary tests and contextualising pain within an adaptive process are essential steps to reduce fear and increase confidence. Understanding directly influences the way the nervous system interprets stimuli and, consequently, the experience of pain.

Physiotherapy in Acute Injury: Intervene Critically

In the context of acute injury - such as sprains, fractures or ligament ruptures - physiotherapy works to manage pain, protect the structure involved and maintain mobility within safe limits.

However, even at this early stage, the goal is not just tissue healing, but the preservation of overall function. Excessive immobilisation or prolonged rest can compromise recovery, leading to stiffness, loss of strength and changes in motor pattern.

Appropriate load progression, even in the early stages, stimulates regeneration and keeps the system active. This progression is always organised on the basis of available scientific evidence and clinical experience, respecting biological timescales and individual response.

Sports Rehabilitation: From Return to Optimisation

In the context of sport, physiotherapy plays a central role. A return to sport doesn't just depend on the absence of pain or the structural consolidation of the injury. It requires sufficient strength, adequate neuromuscular control, the ability to absorb impact, sport-specific endurance and, above all, the athlete's confidence.

The transition between rehabilitation and optimisation is a continuum, with no rigid dividing line. A hasty return increases the risk of relapse and perpetuates cycles of injury.

Physiotherapy accompanies this process progressively, monitoring the response to the load and working in conjunction with coaches and other professionals involved.

And Outside of Sport? Movement for Daily Life

Limiting physiotherapy to sport would be reductive. Most people seek counselling in order to resume simple activities: walking without pain, working without limitations or exercising safely.

In these cases, physiotherapy acts as a movement facilitator, helping to rebuild efficient motor patterns and increase progressive tolerance to activity. Manual therapy, rehabilitation technology and therapeutic exercise are central tools in this process.

The selection of exercises, dose, frequency and progression depend on the stage of recovery, the level of sensitisation of the nervous system and the person's current ability.

Physiotherapy in Chronic Pain: Regulating and Reorganising

Intervention in persistent pain deserves special mention. In chronic pain, It is common to have a long history of therapeutic attempts, inconclusive tests or alarmist interpretations of structural alterations that are common in the general population.

Physiotherapy plays a strategic role in reorganising movement and reinterpreting it. pain as a multifactorial phenomenon. The gradual progression of the load, combined with education and controlled exposure to movement, reduces hypervigilance and restores confidence.

The process requires consistency, but is often decisive in breaking cycles of functional limitation.

Physiotherapy and Osteopathy: A Complementary Approach

In cases of persistent pain, the professional's first objective should be to reassure and help the person to reinterpret their pain.

In this context, osteopathy can act as a strategic crossroads, facilitating mobility, reducing tension and influencing the perception of pain through its global approach to physical systems and the modulation of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.

At OsteoSalvador, based in Lisbon, physiotherapy does not work in isolation. The articulation with osteopathy, the careful use of manual therapy and the integration of structured exercise allow for a more comprehensive approach.

While manual intervention can facilitate mobility in the early stages, the year consolidates gains and promotes adaptation in the medium and long term. This complementarity is strategic: each tool has its moment within the recovery plan.

When to seek physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy can be indicated in many situations: recurring lumbar or cervical pain, sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, sprains, fractures or headaches associated with muscle tension.

More than the specific condition, what justifies intervention is the presence of functional limitations, persistent pain or difficulty in resuming normal activities. Early assessment makes it possible to structure recovery and prevent initial changes from evolving into more complex conditions.

An Active and Participatory Process

Physiotherapy should be understood as an active process. Recovery doesn't just happen in the session, but above all in the way the person moves, progressively exposes themselves to the load and interprets their body's signals.

The physiotherapist's role is to guide, adjust and create the conditions for this adaptation to take place safely and sustainably. It's not just about treating an injury, but promoting adaptability, autonomy and confidence in movement.

Low back pain is very common in adults but it's not always the same. Although it's common to hear someone just say “I have back pain”, from a clinical point of view there is a fundamental difference between acute low back pain vs chronic low back pain. This distinction is not just a matter of time - it directly influences the way pain is understood, approached and treated.

Realising this difference helps to reduce fear, unrealistic expectations and frustration, especially when the pain doesn't go away as quickly as expected.

What is acute low back pain?

To acute low back pain usually appears suddenly and is often associated with an identifiable episode: a less usual movement, an unexpected effort, a period of increased physical load or even a moment of stress.

It is characterised by:

• recent onset (days or a few weeks),

• more localised pain,

• greater relationship with certain movements or positions,

• tendency towards progressive improvement.

Although it can be intense, the acute low back pain doesn't mean gravity. In most cases, it is part of the body's adaptation process and develops favourably when there is proper guidance.

What is chronic low back pain?

We talk about chronic low back pain when the pain persists for more than three months. Here, the scenario changes. Pain is no longer just a local response to a physical stimulus, but involves the nervous system more significantly.

In chronic pain:

• the intensity of the pain doesn't always correspond to the condition of the tissues,

• tests may not justify the symptoms,

• fear of movement and insecurity become frequent,

• factors such as stress, sleep, previous experiences and expectations have a greater weight.

This doesn't mean that “the pain is in the head”. It means that the body and nervous system are more sensitive, The pain is maintained by multiple factors.

The difference isn't just time

A common mistake is to think that the only difference between acute and chronic pain is the number of weeks or months. In reality, what changes is a how the body processes pain.

In acute low back pain, the focus is often on tissue protection and recovery. In chronic low back pain, the challenge becomes helping the nervous system to recover confidence in the movement and reduce hypersensitivity.

Therefore, applying exactly the same approach in both cases rarely works.

What about the exams? Do they help to distinguish?

Imaging can be useful in specific contexts, but do not define whether the pain is acute or chronic, nor do they in themselves explain the intensity of the symptoms.

It's common to observe:

• structural changes in people without pain,

• persistent pain with no relevant changes in the tests,

• old findings that no longer explain the current complaint.

Clinical assessment remains the key to understanding the type of pain and guiding the approach. Imaging tests are an important variable, but alone they rarely explain the pain.

Clinical approach Acute low back pain vs chronic low back pain: what changes in practice?

In acute low back pain, the main aim is to..:

• control the pain,

• keep the movement going as long as possible,

• avoid excessively restrictive strategies,

• promote a natural and progressive recovery.

In chronic low back pain, the approach is necessarily more comprehensive. In addition to pain control, it is essential to:

• understand the factors that maintain it,

• reduce the fear of movement,

• gradually reintroduce the load,

• work on trust, autonomy and predictability.

In both cases, the clinical follow-up adequate makes a difference, but the strategies are not the same.

Why is this distinction so important?

When chronic low back pain is treated as if it were always acute, frustration and a sense of failure often arise: “I've done everything and it won't go away”. On the other hand, treating acute pain as if it were chronic can lead to unnecessary worry.

Realising what stage you're in allows you to:

• adjust expectations,

• choose the right approach,

• avoid unnecessary interventions,

• promote a more consistent recovery.

How we view low back pain in clinical practice

At OsteoSalvador, the distinction between acute and chronic low back pain is an essential starting point. The clinical assessment endeavours to understand not only where it hurts, but also how pain behaves, the impact on everyday life and the factors that influence it.

The aim is not just to relieve symptoms, but to help each person understand their condition, regain movement safely and trust their body again.

To summarise

• Acute low back pain and chronic low back pain are not the same thing

• The difference goes beyond the length of time

• Tests help, but they don't explain everything

• The clinical approach should be adjusted to the stage of pain

• Understanding pain is a fundamental part of recovery

A clear and contextualised reading of low back pain allows for more informed decisions and more effective recovery paths, as well as deciding physiotherapy's most assertive approach.

O Blood Flow Restriction (BFR), also known as training with restricted blood flow or BFR trainingis an innovative technique that combines low-intensity exercises with the controlled application of a partial restriction of blood flow, usually in the upper or lower limbs. This approach has been gaining ground both in rehabilitation in physiotherapy as in sports trainingdue to its proven effects on muscle hypertrophy and increased strength - even with significantly reduced loads.

How does Blood Flow Restriction work?

The principle of training with restricted blood flow is based on physiological mechanisms such as metabolic stress. The partial restriction of venous flow during exercise promotes the accumulation of metabolites such as lactate, which stimulates muscle growth through the activation of anabolic pathways and the release of hormones such as growth hormone (GH). This environment also favours the recruitment of fast twitch muscle fibres (Type II), which are essential for developing strength and muscle mass.

Another important factor in BFR training is the activation of satellite cells, which play a decisive role in the repair and growth of muscle tissue, something fundamental in recovery and rehabilitation processes.

Strength and pain reduction benefits

Several studies have shown that Blood Flow Restriction allows significant gains in muscle strength, even with loads between 20% and 40% of maximum repetition (1RM). This makes training with restricted blood flow especially beneficial for people undergoing rehabilitation who are unable to train with heavy weights due to injuries or joint limitations.

What's more, the BFR training also has a proven analgesic effect, useful for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, osteoarthritis and tendinopathies. The combination of restricted blood flowThe increase in endorphins and regulation of Central Sensitisation helps to reduce the perception of pain and improve function.

Equipment and application

O training with Blood Flow Restriction uses elasticated or inflatable bands, called CuffsThese are applied to the proximal part of the limbs. The pressure is adjusted in such a way as to restrict venous return, without blocking arterial flow - a task that should always be done with adequate monitoring, for example with Doppler or specific modern BFR training.

Prescribing training with restricted blood flow

• Intensity: 20% to 40% of 1RM.

• Volume: Common protocol of 4 sets (30-15-15-15 repetitions) per exercise.

• Rest: Short breaks, between 30 and 60 seconds.

• Frequency: 2 to 3 times a week.

This model allows for muscle hypertrophy and strength gains similar to those obtained with high loads, significantly reducing the impact on the joints - an essential advantage in contexts of rehabilitation with BFR. 

Populations benefiting from the BFR

The application of Blood Flow Restriction is recommended in various clinical and sporting situations:

• Rehabilitation with BFR in the post-operative period, making it possible to preserve and recover muscle mass without overloading;

• Patients with musculoskeletal injuries;

• People with chronic illnesses, such as osteoarthritis, who cannot tolerate intense training;

• Athletes who are recovering or maintaining muscle mass.

Contraindications

Although BFR training is safe, it is not suitable for everyone. It should be avoided in cases of

• Deep vein thrombosis;

• Decompensated hypertension;

• Cardiovascular diseases;

• Advanced varicose veins;

• Lymphoedema;

• Pregnancy.

Final considerations

O training with restricted blood flow offers an effective solution for those looking for muscle hypertrophy and increased strength, with less joint impact and less risk of overload. To be safe and effective, it is essential to use qualified professionals and suitable devices.

Whether you're undergoing rehabilitation or just trying to boost your training, the Blood Flow Restriction can be a powerful tool for accelerating results.
