Musculoskeletal Conditions
A musculoskeletal condition is any injury or disease that affects your bones, muscles, joints, and connective tissues. These conditions cause pain and limit your ability to work and participate in activities. They also affect your mood and sleep.
Some common musculoskeletal conditions include joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation. Others may have more complex symptoms, such as fibromyalgia or arthritis. These conditions are one of the main reasons people seek medical help. They are also one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. It is partly because they can cause chronic pain and limit your movements.
Massage
Physiotherapy is a holistic treatment to achieve optimal physical function and sports participation. Physios specialises in the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, including neck and back pain, workplace injuries and arthritic conditions.
