Musculoskeletal physiotherapy focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions involving muscles, nerves, bones, joints, and connective tissues. It addresses a variety of issues, including:
-
Sports Injuries: Treatment and prevention of injuries related to athletic activities
-
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Recovery following orthopaedic surgeries, such as joint replacements or repairs
-
Chronic Conditions: Management of long-term issues like arthritis and persistent back pain
-
Acute Injuries: Treatment of sprains, strains, fractures, and tendon injuries.
Key components of musculoskeletal physiotherapy include:
-
Assessment: A detailed evaluation of physical function, movement patterns, and pain to identify the root causes of dysfunction.
-
Manual Therapy: Techniques like joint mobilisation and soft tissue manipulation to alleviate pain and enhance mobility.
-
Exercise Therapy: Customised exercise programs to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and restore function.
-
Education: Advice on posture, body mechanics, and lifestyle adjustments to prevent re-injury and support recovery.
The ultimate goal of musculoskeletal physiotherapy is to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals experiencing musculoskeletal conditions.

We offer advice and education, hands-on treatment, movement-based therapy and exercise, rehabilitation, acupuncture, cupping, and hydrotherapy.
At Trust Physio we know there is no-one size fits all approach, which is why we have an hour with you at your initial appointment, so we can take time to get to know you, your needs and plan your treatment according to your needs.
Please bear in mind that we will need to examine you, so if you are attending with an upper body issue, we recommend ladies wear a bra and if possible, a vest top. For the lower back and lower limb issues, shorts are ideal or clothing where we will be able to expose the area in order to assess it.
At present we are registered with AXA PPP, AVIVA, and WPA.
This will require you contacting them before you engage in physiotherapy as all insurance companies have different terms and conditions.
