What is musculoskeletal physiotherapy?

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy involves the assessment and treatment of individuals with injury or conditions which affect bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves. It is the area of physiotherapy that most people are familiar with. A wide range of conditions and injuries are treated by MSK physiotherapists including arthritic joints, back pain, sciatica, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, sports injuries, muscle strains, ligament ruptures and tendonitis. They are also responsible for the rehabilitation of patients following orthopaedic surgery.

Our MSK physiotherapists have extensive knowledge of MSK and orthopaedic injuries and conditions. They have exceptional hands-on treatment skills, including advanced skills such as acupuncture and Ultrasound Guided Joint & Soft Tissue Injections. Our physiotherapists use our top-quality rehabilitation facilities and equipment to aid the recovery of their patients.

How Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Works

Musculoskeletal physiotherapy involves assessing, diagnosing, and treating musculoskeletal conditions that affect the body’s movement and functionality. The treatment plan is individualized to address the specific condition, using a combination of manual therapy, exercise prescription, education, and lifestyle modifications. Our physiotherapists will work closely with you to identify the root cause of your pain or injury, offering hands-on therapy, stretching, strengthening exercises, and postural correction to optimize your recovery.
