Does Physiotherapy weaken muscles over time?

No , The thing is that  Physiotherapy doesn't weaken your muscle over time. Muscle disease includes a number of rare conditions, which in most cases tend to present at around the same age, and due to their progressive character, they can lead to physical limitations and reduced life expectancy. So Clear answer is Physiotherapy Never Weakens Muscle. but if you are taking Physiotherapic Treatment for a longer time you may feel that your muscles are stronger and with the blank gap in between treatment may lead to feeling of weakness.

Abnormal Endfeel in Physiotherapy

The abnormal end feels, several of which have subdivisions and each of which is commonly associated with some degree of pain or restricted movement. classified in Five : 1) Muscle Spasm :  This end feel is invoked by movement, with a sudden dramatic arrest of movement often accompanied by pain. The end feel is sudden and hard. An early muscle spasm occurs early in the ROM, almost as soon as movement starts; this type of muscle spasm is associated with inflammation and is seen in more acute conditions. A late muscle spasm occurs at or near the end of the ROM. It is usually caused by instability and the resulting irritability caused by movement. 2) Capsular : this end feel is similar to tissue stretch. present earliest in ROM. ROM is reduced.  this end feel can be classified into hard capsular , in which the end feel has a thicker stretching quality to it, and soft capsular (boggy), which is similar to normal tissue stretch end feel but with a restricted ROM.
