Overview

Physiotherapy is a health discipline that uses physical methods—including exercise, manual therapy, movement retraining, and other non-pharmacological interventions—to restore function, reduce disability, and support rehabilitation following injury, surgery, or neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. The International Physiology Journal publishes peer-reviewed, open-access research across physiology and clinical care, including studies relevant to rehabilitation and recovery. Reported work touches on areas adjacent to physiotherapy practice, such as the management of knee arthrofibrosis after arthroscopic meniscectomy, stroke inpatient care indicators and complications, post-COVID-19 neurological recovery, and systematic review of non-pharmacological interventions for disrupted sleep in dementia. These contributions reflect a broader interest in functional outcomes, recovery, and conservative management across patient populations. Readers should note that coverage spans general physiology and clinical case reports rather than physiotherapy alone. Readers interested in rehabilitation, musculoskeletal and neurological recovery, exercise-based therapy, and non-pharmacological intervention will find peer-reviewed, open-access studies relevant to physiotherapy.
