What is a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy?
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is a specialised branch of physical therapy that focuses on the assessment, treatment, and management of disorders and injuries affecting the musculoskeletal system. This intricate system includes muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and neural tissue, and other connective tissues that collectively contribute to body movement and stability.
Musculoskeletal physiotherapists are trained to diagnose and address a wide range of conditions, such as sprains, strains, fractures, arthritis, postural issues, and sports-related injuries. Their expertise lies in developing personalised treatment plans that often involve a combination of manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercises, ergonomic guidance, and electrotherapy modality, such as Laser Therapy, TECAR Therapy, Shockwave Therapy, and electro-stimulation.
The goal of musculoskeletal physiotherapy is to alleviate pain, improve mobility, restore function, and enhance overall quality of life while promoting injury prevention and long-term musculoskeletal health.
