From Assessment to Recovery

Musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy is the specialist field of physiotherapy that assesses, diagnoses and treats injuries and conditions affecting the soft tissues, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and connective tissue.

We are focused on restoring, maintaining and maximising both quality of life and long-term success. Working with us doesn’t mean you need to go on to climb a mountain; it could be that you are better able to live your daily life without pain or restricted movement catching you out and avoid having to pop pain killers like smarties just to get you through.

Physiotherapy involves a detailed initial assessment to achieve a diagnosis and discussion between the patient and physiotherapist about the treatment plan. Treatment will usually consist of hands-on (manual) treatment, stretching, exercise, advice, use of equipment or devices, rehabilitation, and education. Their use will vary depending on the diagnosis and type of treatment required.
