What it involves
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy assesses and treats problems of the muscles, joints, ligaments and spine, such as back pain, neck pain, joint pain and stiffness. A physiotherapist examines how you move, explains what they find and builds a plan that often combines exercise, hands-on techniques and advice on activity.
Who it is for
It is for people with pain or reduced movement from injury, overuse, long-term joint conditions or posture-related problems. It is also used alongside other care after some treatments. A physiotherapist will tell you if another professional should see you first.
How long it usually takes
A first appointment is often longer than later ones because of the assessment. The number of sessions depends on the problem, and your physiotherapist can discuss this after the first visit.
What to expect
You will be asked about the problem, your activities and goals. The physiotherapist watches you move and examines the area. You are taught exercises to do at home, and treatment may include manual techniques. Progress is reviewed, and the plan adjusted.
Aftercare
Do the exercises you are given, in the way you are shown, and keep to any advice about activity. Tell the physiotherapist if something increases your pain. Keep a note of progress to discuss at the next visit.
When to seek it
See a physiotherapist for pain or stiffness that lasts or limits activity. Seek urgent medical attention for new numbness around the groin, loss of bladder or bowel control, or weakness that worsens quickly.
What affects the cost
Cost depends on session length, the number of sessions, home visits, equipment used and the therapist's experience. HealthNaro shows a price only where a clinic has supplied a figure with a source and date.
