for Pain Relief & Recovery Published on: 20th May 2022 Medically reviewed by: Physiotherapist at First Response Healthcare The goal of Musculoskeletal (MSK) Physiotherapy is to diagnose and treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions and help improve your movement and function. MSK physiotherapy uses a number of techniques and strategies that can help reduce pain, improve your range of motion and can help you attain a better quality of life. A musculoskeletal physiotherapist will take you through exercises and movements that can help with any kind of pain or injury that you might be experiencing in your joints, ligaments, nerves, muscle tissues or tendons. Musculoskeletal injuries usually occur because of suddenly lifting a heavy object, sitting or walking in the wrong posture for a sustained amount of time, if a part of your body keeps experiencing repetitive strain or pressure, because of direct injury to any part of your body because of blunt force or if you’ve engaged in activities such as sports or extensive gyming and strained your musculoskeletal system.
