Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

Musculoskeletal physiotherapy helps people with medical conditions related to muscle and bone. Conditions like osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder and shoulder impingement are treated by musculoskeletal physical therapy. 

Techniques used in Musculoskeletal physiotherapy

• Joint mobilisation: gentle, controlled movements of a joint to reduce stiffness and pain (Maitland, Mulligan, Kaltenborn).

• Manipulation: a quick, small thrust to a joint to restore movement.

• Soft tissue release and massage: relaxes tight muscles and improves circulation.

• Myofascial release: sustained pressure on tight connective tissue.

• Trigger point therapy: pressure or dry needling on painful muscle knots.

• Muscle energy technique (MET): the patient gently contracts a muscle against resistance to improve length and joint movement.

• Dry needling and acupuncture-style needling: for muscle pain and trigger points.

• Shockwave therapy: used for chronic tendon problems such as plantar fasciitis.

• IASTM (instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) uses tools to break down scar tissue and tight fascia, which reduces pain and improves movement.
