Physiotherapy plays a vital role in torture recovery by addressing physical injuries from assaults and trauma-induced symptoms like chronic pain, using a biopsychosocial approach.[physio-pedia +1]
Key Interventions
Techniques include pain education to reframe thoughts and reduce fear, diaphragmatic breathing to calm hyperarousal via vagal nerve stimulation, and mindfulness practices like yoga for body awareness and emotional regulation. Manual therapies such as myo-fascial release and self-massage relieve muscle tension, while posture work links body position to emotions, fostering positive coping.[pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih +1]
Outcomes

It empowers non-verbal processing, builds trust through touch, and integrates with multidisciplinary care for holistic healing.[research-advances +2]
