Ankylosing spondylitis is a long-term inflammatory condition that affects the spine, causing stiffness and pain that can gradually reduce flexibility. Physiotherapy helps maintain spinal mobility and posture, slowing the impact on daily life.
When to see a physiotherapist: See a doctor if back stiffness lasts more than three months or worsens with rest, and consult a physiotherapist for a long-term mobility plan.
