Musculoskeletal physiotherapy, often known as MSK physiotherapy, is the evaluation and treatment of individuals who have been affected by injuries or medical conditions that affect their bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves. MSK physiotherapy is delivered through a range of techniques, including physical exercises, manual therapies and load management.

The most recognised branch of physiotherapy, musculoskeletal physiotherapy, deals with a wide range of injuries and ailments such as arthritic joints, back pain, sciatica, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, sports injury, muscle strains, ligament ruptures and tendinopathy.

Additionally, MSK physiotherapists are responsible for rehabilitating patients after they have undergone orthopaedic surgery, such as hip and knee replacements.
