Musculoskeletal physiotherapy treats many muscular problems that may cause inflammation in tendons, ligaments, or muscles, and can limit a person’s daily functional abilities due to pain or reduced joint range of motion and other symptoms.
Physiotherapy helps treat musculoskeletal system problems such as:
- Muscle and tendon tears, including shoulder tendon injuries
- Herniated discs and spinal pain
- Joint injuries and joint replacement rehabilitation
- Repetitive strain injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome
- Injuries caused by falls or sudden movements such as sprains and joint dislocations
A physiotherapist can design a musculoskeletal rehabilitation program to address the problem, help the individual return to daily activities, reduce symptoms, and provide education and guidance on managing pain.
