Musculoskeletal

Musculoskeletal issues occur when there has been damage caused to muscles, joints or soft tissues within the body, and can be undertaken to increase mobility and manage pain.

Musculoskeletal physiotherapy and rehabilitation will be most beneficial if you are suffering following a serious injury, or if your long-term illness or disability has recently worsened.

Musculoskeletal rehabilitation aims to make you more comfortable in your own body, and provides treatment for the following issues and conditions:

  • Muscle, tendon and ligament damage
  • Arthritis
  • Postural problems
  • Back, neck and shoulder pain
  • Problems with joints
  • Pre- and post-surgery rehabilitation
  • Fracture rehabilitation

Our musculoskeletal physiotherapy treatments always begin with an assessment of your condition and symptoms. Following your assessment, your physiotherapist will devise a plan that is tailored to your needs and goals. You can read more about what to expect at your initial assessment here.

Musculoskeletal treatments may include:

  • Strengthening and conditioning exercises
  • Stretching exercises
  • Therapeutic massage
  • Ultrasound therapy
  • Teaching self-management strategies
  • Laser therapy
  • Acupuncture or acupressure

The key aims of musculoskeletal physiotherapy are to:

  • Optimise healing and encourage the recovery process
  • Increase strength
  • Restore normal movement
  • Reduce pain and swelling
  • Restore independence

Discover Physio was recommended to me by another physiotherapist who doesn’t specialise in stroke recovery. I’ve now been visiting Elaine for two and a half years.

My initial aims and goals we based on mobility – I hoped that, by visiting Elaine, I would be able to improve walking and mobility.

AWe worked on my problems together, and Elaine helped me to come up with strategies to overcome them. Following my stroke, we worked on stimulating my brain to find alternative pathways to increase my movements.

I would recommend Elaine and Discover Physio without hesitation. Elaine has a pleasant personality and experience in this field, and the ability to communicate the techniques involved.
