Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy is the term used to describe the area within physiotherapy that focuses on the assessment and treatment of the musculoskeletal system: bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, discs and neural structures.
Our physiotherapists have completed advanced post-graduate studies in this area to become experts in the accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of musculoskeletal pain and pathology.
The Australian Physiotherapy Association recognizes this advanced area of expertise and enables these physiotherapists to distinguish themselves in the marketplace by acknowledging them as Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists. Their advanced clinical skills help to solve your problem completely and quickly.

- joint mobilization or manipulation
