Physiotherapy Rehabilitation in a Patient with Psoas Abscess: a Detailed Case Study

Author(s) Ms. Kunica Dhawde

Abstract Psoas abscess is an uncommon, yet potentially life-threatening condition characterized by infection within the iliopsoas muscle compartment.Due to its non-specific clinical presentation, diagnosis is often delayed, increasing the risk of complications such as sepsis, joint involvement, and chronic disability.While medical and surgical management remain the cornerstone of treatment, the role of physiotherapy in recovery is frequently underreported.This case study aims to highlight the importance of structured physiotherapy rehabilitation in improving functional outcomes in a patient diagnosed with psoas abscess.A 35-year-old male patient presented with severe low back pain, restricted mobility, and difficulty in ambulation following drainage and antibiotic therapy.A comprehensive physiotherapy program focusing on pain management, restoration of range of motion, muscle strengthening, and functional retraining was implemented over four weeks. Outcome measures including Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) demonstrated significant improvement.This case emphasizes the critical role of early and progressive physiotherapy in enhancing recovery, reducing disability, and improving quality of life in patients with psoas abscess.
