Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
At The Physio Group, Musculoskeletal (MSK) Physiotherapy focuses on the assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries and pain affecting muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, and the spine.
Our Chartered Physiotherapists provide expert care for a wide range of conditions including back and neck pain, joint injuries, muscle strains, sports injuries, and persistent movement problems. Treatment is tailored to each individual, with the goal of restoring movement, reducing pain, and helping you return confidently to normal activity.
Our Approach
Accurate Assessment & Diagnosis
Effective treatment begins with a detailed clinical assessment to identify the true source of symptoms. Understanding the underlying cause allows us to create a clear and targeted treatment plan.
Hands-On Treatment
We use evidence-based manual therapy techniques to reduce pain and improve mobility, including:
- Soft tissue massage
- Joint mobilisation
- Manipulation where appropriate
- Movement and flexibility techniques
Progressive Rehabilitation
Recovery does not stop when pain settles. Structured rehabilitation programmes focus on restoring strength, control, and resilience through progressive exercise tailored to your goals.
Ergonomic & Lifestyle Advice
We provide practical advice on posture, workplace setup, activity modification, and lifestyle factors to support recovery and reduce the risk of recurrence.
