What Is Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy?
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy, a specialized subset of physical therapy, focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions and injuries that impact the musculoskeletal system. This complex system encompasses the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, neural tissue, and other connective tissues, all of which play a critical role in movement and stability.
Musculoskeletal physiotherapists possess expertise in diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions, from sprains, strains, fractures, and arthritis to postural problems and sports injuries.
They devise customized treatment strategies that often include a mix of manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercises focused around building strength and mobility, dry needling, and unique tools that can decrease pain and improve the healing timeframe like Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training.
The primary aim of musculoskeletal physiotherapy is to relieve pain, enhance mobility, restore function, and improve overall quality of life. Furthermore, it places a strong emphasis on preventing injuries and promoting long-term musculoskeletal health.
What Conditions Are Treated By Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists?
Muscle Sprains and Strains
Muscle sprains and strains, common injuries affecting the muscles and ligaments, can range from mild to severe. With our specialized musculoskeletal physiotherapy, we provide effective treatment strategies to reduce pain, increase mobility and agility, and speed up recovery.
Back and Neck Pain
Back and neck pain can drastically affect your quality of life. Our skilled physiotherapists offer personalized treatment plans, including exercises and manual therapy techniques, to relieve discomfort, improve posture, and enhance overall wellbeing.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, can limit mobility and cause chronic pain. Our physiotherapy approach focuses on managing pain, improving joint function, and promoting an active lifestyle to mitigate the impact of osteoarthritis.
Joint Injuries
Joint injuries can range from minor sprains to severe dislocations. Our team of experienced physiotherapists provides comprehensive care, from pain management to rehabilitation exercises, to enhance joint mobility and prevent future injuries.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Post-surgical rehabilitation is crucial for optimal recovery. At Build Physiotherapy, we offer tailored rehabilitation plans, combining hands-on treatment and therapeutic exercises, to maximize your recovery and help regain your strength and function.
Tendinitis / Tendinopathies
Tendinitis and tendinopathies, conditions characterized by tendon inflammation or degeneration, can lead to persistent pain and movement limitations. We offer targeted physiotherapy treatments to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote tendon health.
Postural Issues
Postural issues can contribute to a variety of musculoskeletal problems. Our physiotherapy interventions aim to correct postural imbalances, promote healthy spinal alignment, and enhance muscular strength to improve overall posture.
Repetitive Strain Injuries
Repetitive strain injuries, caused by prolonged repetitive activities, can lead to pain, weakness, and numbness. Our customized physiotherapy treatments help manage symptoms, improve function, and prevent further injury.
Fracture Rehabilitation
Fracture rehabilitation is a critical part of restoring function after a bone fracture. Our professional physiotherapists provide comprehensive rehabilitative care, including mobility exercises and strength training, to speed up healing and enhance recovery.
