Musculoskeletal physiotherapy focuses on the muscles and joints, posture and movement and involves working with people to:

• Help restore movement and function when this has been affected by an injury, operation or illness.
• Promote health and wellbeing.
• Reduce the risk of further injury.
• Physiotherapists use their knowledge of how the body works and how it is affected by conditions of the musculoskeletal system (soft tissue, joints and bones) to devise treatment plans appropriate to the patient’s condition.

The physiotherapist employs various methods of treatment. For example; mobilisation of soft tissue and joints, acupuncture and dry needling, electrotherapy such as ultrasound, electrostimulation and personalised exercise plans.

Education about your injury is integral, helping you understand the importance of specific exercises for full recovery.
