| Abstract: | Sports-related musculoskeletal injuries are common among athletes and often result in pain, functional limitations, and prolonged absence from sporting activities. Effective rehabilitation is essential to ensure optimal recovery, prevent recurrence, and facilitate a safe return to play. This review examines the combined role of physiotherapy and pharmacological interventions in sports injury recovery. Evidence from peer-reviewed literature published between 2012 and 2025 was analyzed using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Physiotherapy interventions including therapeutic exercise, progressive loading, manual therapy, neuromuscular training, and a biopsychosocial approach play a central role in restoring strength, mobility, proprioception, and functional performance. Pharmacological treatments, particularly analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are effective in the early management of pain and inflammation but require cautious and time-limited use due to potential effects on tissue healing. The review highlights that an integrated, phase-based approach combining pharmacological management with structured physiotherapy leads to improved clinical outcomes, faster recovery, and reduced risk of re-injury. A multidisciplinary, evidence-informed strategy is recommended to optimize rehabilitation and long-term athletic performance. |
