Wow, what a rich topic. I think he pitched you underhanded. You can knock this one out of the park.
Physics very much is a study of forces, and interactions. Understanding, forces, levers, pulleys, direction of force, and how our body/joints mimic these will help inform treatment options to minimize further injury while repairing damage.
Think about it, ask your self questions. Why to linemen wear knee braces? What forces are they redirecting. What planes of motion are they restricting movement to? Why? What rotational limitations do the braces impede? Why?
What is the most constant force acting on our bodies we always have to account for? Gravity. Something like 9.8 meters per second squared. How does this physics come into play with therapy? Well we can either send them to outer space to reduce gravity or.....put people in a swimming pool where buoyancy combats the forces of gravity making them lighter and reducing the force on the joints.
Why is heat used in therapy? Why is ice used? What is important to understand? The rate of transfer of the heat and cold? There are reasons we don't use liquid nitrogen or blow torches. There are reasons and ice bath is preferable to just crushed ice. These are physics related.
Hope this helps stir your processes. Have fun.
