Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, a dedicated subdiscipline within the field of physiotherapy, emphasises precise assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries related to the musculoskeletal system. This includes spinal (lower and upper back, neck pains) and headaches, ankle, foot, thigh and knee pains and injuries along with shoulder, elbow and wrist injuries.

The comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment considers all regions of the body, interpretation of investigations and reviewing and applying evidence-based treatment.

How we help

Each individual is unique, and every injury presents its own distinct characteristics, we utilise AxIT, an advanced assessment system. This cutting-edge technology identifies baselines, tracks progressions over time, and ensures that you are engaging in the appropriate exercises and treatments. Additionally, AxIT measures imbalances between muscles and sides. By employing this method, you can achieve your goals efficiently and with confidence in your progress.
