How can physical therapy help Tietze syndrome?

I have bad pain, and a CT scan showed there is no fracture anywhere. Instead I was diagnosed with Tietze syndrome, and alongside medication, my doctor wants me to have physical therapy. How will this help?

A physical therapist can help you to manage your pain. One of the ways include relaxation exercises, and postural control.

PT can help in alleviating and or managing your pain flare ups and improving the quality of motion. Luckily, I know it doesn’t seem like it, but Tietez syndrome is benign
