Musculoskeletal physiotherapy – one of the sub-disciplines of the profession – emphasises on manual therapy for management of a range of health conditions.
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists have expertise in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. They employ advanced clinical assessment and diagnosis methods and have undertaken a broader range of treatment techniques through extensive post-graduate studies and normally hold a Postgraduate Masters Degree.
Members of the Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists Australia (MPA) are world-leaders in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal problems, for instance spinal conditions that commonly cause lower back pain, sciatica, neck pain and headaches.
