Musculoskeletal Therapies

What is musculoskeletal therapy?

Musculoskeletal therapy is a manual hands-on prevention medicine designed to treat muscles and skeletal systems using many of the diagnostic procedures used in the conventional medical assessment and diagnosis.

Musculoskeletal therapy seeks to restore the optimal functioning of the body and aid its ability to heal without the use of drugs or surgery.

Why Musculoskeletal Therapy?

Against a backdrop of increasing pressure on GP workloads made worse by limited resources, musculoskeletal therapy offers a cost-effective source of healthcare.

- Problems such as back pain cost the NHS and the industry billions of pounds a year

- Musculoskeletal therapists help to keep patients mobile and already succeed in keeping an estimated 25,000 patients a day out of doctors’ surgeries and off hospital waiting lists

- Speedy access to musculoskeletal care for acute patients often avert the possibility of conditions becoming chronic

- Musculoskeletal therapy can help to reduce pain and minimise dependency on drugs

- Musculoskeletal therapy can obviate the need for further medical investigation or surgical intervention.
