Understanding Musculoskeletal & Joint Pain
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy assesses how muscles, joints, and connective tissues work together. Pain can arise when one of these systems is overloaded, weak, or poorly coordinated. Our evaluation identifies areas of dysfunction and mobility limitations.
This process gives clear direction toward effective management and improved movement.
-
Assessment of joint and muscle balance
-
Evaluation of functional movement patterns
-
Identification of stiffness or restricted range
-
Testing for pain triggers during movement
Targeted Treatment for Joint Pain
Joint pain physiotherapy focuses on reducing discomfort, restoring mobility, and improving overall joint health. Whether pain affects the knee, hip, shoulder, or small joints, treatment is tailored to the structure involved. Techniques vary depending on the joint and the movement demands placed upon it.
This therapy supports both short-term relief and long-term improvement.
-
Manual joint mobilisation and soft tissue release
-
Guided muscle strengthening exercises
-
Neuromuscular control and coordination training
-
Movement re-education for daily activities
