Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy is a specialized field focused on the treatment of injuries and conditions affecting muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. It employs a holistic approach to diagnose, manage, and treat pain, injuries, and disorders in the musculoskeletal system, aiming to restore function and mobility. Through a combination of manual therapy, tailored exercises, and advice on posture and movement, musculoskeletal physiotherapists help patients recover from surgery, sports injuries, workplace and lifestyle-related ailments, and chronic conditions such as arthritis. This patient-centered care not only alleviates pain but also educates individuals on managing their conditions and preventing future injuries, promoting overall well-being and an active lifestyle.
