Physiotherapists can help with all aspects of joint and muscle problems, from sports injuries, non resolving pains and strains and chronic joint or muscle pains.

Also known as musculoskeletal (MSK) specialists they can assess you and diagnose what is happening and give expert advice on how best to manage your condition. They can recommend exercises and other approaches to deal with the issue and refer you onto specialist services if necessary.
