Physiotherapy (musculoskeletal)

Musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapists help people with problems in their muscles, bones, joints, and soft tissues. In an outpatient setting, they:

• Assess and diagnose aches, pains, and injuries.
• Create personalised treatment plans to reduce pain, improve movement, and prevent problems from getting worse.
• Teach exercises that can be done at home or in the clinic.
• Give advice on posture, work, and daily activities to support recovery.
• Guide patients through recovery after injuries, surgery, or flare-ups of long-term conditions.
• The goal is to help patients move better, feel less pain, and get back to their usual activities safely.
• Signpost to support groups/activities within the local community.
