What is Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy?
What is Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy?
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is a combination of techniques and therapies to help manage pain or disability in bones, muscles, joints and other connective tissues.Â
MSK injuries can be caused by sudden trauma to the area such as jerking movements, fractures, accidents, falls, poor postures, or any type of arthritis. These conditions can be easily treated with musculoskeletal physiotherapy.
The pain varies depending on the situation. It can range from mild to severe enough to affect your daily activities. Acute pain can start suddenly with a short duration. Chronic pain can last from more than 3 to 6 months.Â
