Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is a generalised area of physiotherapy that focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the muscles, joints, and bones. It uses a combination of manual therapy, exercise, and education to help patients manage pain, improve function, and prevent future injuries.
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy can help individuals with a wide range of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including back pain, neck pain, joint pain, sports injuries, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-surgical rehabilitation. It can also benefit individuals who experience chronic pain or limited mobility due to injury or disease. By addressing the root cause of the problem, musculoskeletal physiotherapy aims to help patients achieve optimal physical function and quality of life, while reducing the need for surgery or medication.
