Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

The majority of patients come to see a physiotherapist for a musculo-skeletal injury they may have sustained. The bodily structures that are involved in a musculoskeletal injury include joints, muscles, bones and/or nerves. Neck and back pain, shoulder, hip and knee injuries are the most commonly treated.

The combination of treatment techniques that may be used to treat musculoskeletal injuries by our physiotherapists include:

• Joint Mobilisation
• Manual therapy
• Electrotherapy (Ice, Heat, Ultrasound, TENS, Interferential)
• Dry needling
• Taping
• Exercise prescription – strengthening, stretching
• Pilates/core strengthening
• Postural advice
