Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

Musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy is the assessment and treatment of conditions affecting muscles, joints, ligaments and the spine. At MEPS, our highly qualified, experienced Chartered Physiotherapists treat a full range of MSK problems, from sports injuries and chronic pain to pre and post-surgical rehabilitation.

We treat a wide range of injuries, disorders and diseases, including spinal pain (low back, mid back and neck), muscle, joint and ligament injuries, sporting injuries, lower limb injuries (hip, knee, foot and ankle), upper limb injuries (shoulder, elbow, wrist), pre and post-surgical rehabilitation, occupational injuries, and pre and postnatal MSK conditions.

Your initial consultation includes a detailed medical history to establish how your symptoms behave and to screen for any adverse medical conditions, followed by a full physical examination to assess and diagnose the cause of your symptoms. Your physiotherapist will then explain findings and discuss a treatment plan.

Treatment may include manual therapy (hands-on techniques to relieve pain and stiffness), soft tissue and myofascial release massage, specific strengthening and recovery exercises, postural re-education to correct muscle imbalances, and ergonomic assessment and advice for daily activities and work setup.

Yes. Pre-surgical physiotherapy (‘prehab’) can help strengthen the body and prepare you for a quicker recovery, while post-surgical rehabilitation helps you regain strength, mobility and function safely. Our team works with patients before and after a wide range of surgeries.
