Recovery is generally considered a subconcept of physiotherapy. Physiotherapy is generally a treatment method used to improve patients' physical functions and regain their movement abilities. This involves the process of increasing muscle strength, increasing flexibility, reducing pain and relieving movement restrictions through a variety of techniques.

Recovery, on the other hand, addresses this general purpose in a more specific way. It is a type of physiotherapy designed to accelerate and optimize the body's healing process, especially after sports injuries, surgical interventions or other traumas. This process focuses on specific rehabilitation goals and uses specific exercises, manual therapy techniques, and specific treatment protocols. Its purpose is to enable athletes or individuals to return to their previous performance levels and minimize the risk of re-injury. Therefore, recovery therapy is often led by a sports physiotherapist or specialist physiotherapist and offers a customized plan tailored to the individual's specific needs and goals.
