Every respectable study, like this one from the New England Journal of Medicine, has found that physical therapy doesn't aid with pain management, no matter how many claims are made by physical therapists:

Every study has shown that electromagnetic stimulation of muscles (EMS) has no benefit to muscle strength.
And no respectable study has yet shown, to my knowledge, that physical therapy exercises offer any more strength gain than simply moving around.
It's a quack field, built on quack theories, and it has no relationship to science.
