[Evidence-based physiotherapeutic strategies for musculoskeletal pain].

Inflammatory rheumatic disorders usually progress towards morphologic and functional deficits and thus cause substantial impairment of physical health. Amongst the therapeutic options physiotherapeutic strategies are essential and are often required to maintain the individual's quality of life. Because of the large variety of physiotherapeutical approaches, differentiated clinical examination is needed in order to implement physiotherapeutics in a treatment plan that is based on pathophysiologic and regeneration-specific aspects. The article presents a current overview of evidence-based physiotherapeutic strategies for musculoskeletal pain reduction in daily practice.
