Musculoskeletal Injury Physiotherapy

Musculoskeletal Injury Physiotherapy

Musculoskeletal Injury Physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries affecting the muscles, bones, joints, and ligaments. These injuries can result from trauma, overuse, or degenerative conditions and often lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

  • Sprains and Strains: Injuries to ligaments (sprains) and muscles or tendons (strains) caused by overstretching or tearing.
  • Fractures: Breaks or cracks in bones, often resulting from trauma or stress.
  • Dislocations: Occur when bones in a joint are forced out of their normal positions.
  • Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons caused by repetitive motion or overuse.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, the fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints.
  • Arthritis: Degenerative or inflammatory conditions affecting the joints.

Symptoms of Musculoskeletal Injuries

  • Pain: Acute or chronic pain in the affected area.
  • Swelling: Inflammation and swelling around the injured site.
  • Stiffness: Reduced range of motion and flexibility.
  • Weakness: Decreased strength in the affected muscles or joints.
  • Bruising: Discoloration due to bleeding under the skin.
  • Impaired Function: Difficulty performing normal activities and movements.
