Musculoskeletal physiotherapy, also known as MSK physiotherapy, is a specialized field of physiotherapy that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. It involves a combination of techniques and strategies to help restore movement and function, such as teaching exercises, practicing particular movements, and finding alternative ways of accomplishing a task. MSK physiotherapists assess and treat people who have any injury, disease, or problem that relates to muscles, bones, joints, and peripheral nerves. They support people with problems affecting the spine, muscles, joints, bones, tendons, nerves, and ligaments, which may have been caused by a recent injury such as a sprained ankle or knee replacement surgery. MSK physiotherapy treatment can involve manual therapy to improve mobility, hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, advice on pain management and coping strategies, and correcting muscle imbalances. MSK physiotherapy can benefit people with arthritis, back pain or neck pain, repetitive strain injury, a sports injury or work-related injury, osteoporosis, knee or hip replacements, and other musculoskeletal conditions. MSK physiotherapists work in a variety of health centers and hospital outpatient departments across the UK.
