Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy is a specialized area of physiotherapy treating injuries and conditions which affect the muscles, joints, and soft tissues. Whether it’s your feet, ankles and legs, your arms and shoulders, or your backs and necks – an injury that makes it painful or difficult to move can have a big impact on your quality of life.
Some common injuries which can be treated by musculoskeletal physiotherapy can include:
Low back pain
Neck pain
Muscle strains
Ligament sprains
These injuries will require an assessment and individualized treatment plan. The goal is to achieve full physical function and to be able to return to activities as soon as possible.
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Treatment may include:
Explanation and advice regarding your condition
Hands-on mobilization and soft tissue release if required
Specifically tailored exercises: to improve range of movement, reduce compensatory movements and to strengthen muscles
Use of taping for support if indicated
Postural retraining and ergonomic advice
Dry needling may also be utilized to ease muscular pain and tension
An appointment with our physiotherapists can help you work out a holistic plan to target the issues that are contributing to your pain.
