Physiotherapy for backache

I was warded in the University Hospital for over 10 days. 10 days sleeping on hospital bed and mattress and I had "hospital acquired backache". This kind of disorder is best treated with back physiotherapy. Yes, no medicine. Just let the physiotherapist (PT) massage or manipulate the muscles and the joints, I think.

I have had significant and repetitive sports injuries and found that physiotherapy was extremely helpful in diagnosing and treating the symptoms and the pain.
