Musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy involves the assessment and treatment of muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, joints, nerves and other structures in order to:
- improve your movement and strength
- help you to do more of your normal activities
- help you to understand and manage your condition.
After discussing your specific goals, treatment is likely to include a prescribed exercise program aimed at improving function.
MSK Physiotherapy may not help if you:
- have had physiotherapy treatment for the same condition within the past 6 months.
- are referring yourself for widespread (global) pain.
- are currently under the care of another Physiotherapist or consultant who is currently working with you.
We are unable to accept a self referral if:
- you are not registered with a GP within the pilot scheme.
- you are under the age of 16.
- you require a home visit. Please ask your GP to refer you to Domiciliary Physiotherapy Services.
- your main symptoms are related to an underlying diagnosed neurological condition (MS, Stroke, Parkinsons etc)
