The way we work, rest and play these days, means we can often end up with musculoskeletal issues, usually characterised by pain plus a lack of movement in the affected part of the body. An experienced physiotherapist, and musculoskeletal physiotherapy practitioner, can really get your body back on track. They can help you to gain more movement in joints and muscles and help you live a more pain-free lifestyle.
So, let’s take a look at the common musculoskeletal issues that afflict many of us, and how we can start to feel better and move more naturally.
Three of the Most Common Musculoskeletal Ailments
Musculoskeletal issues are those painful physical ailments that affect your joints, muscles, tendons and bones. It’s common for both men and women to suffer musculoskeletal issues at different phases of their lives. Musculoskeletal issues can be caused by work-related injuries, a car accident, a sedentary lifestyle, or for many women, postnatal-related problems with their lower back and/or pelvic floor.
Sometimes people can suffer from ailments such as carpal tunnel syndrome too, either from pregnancy or from over-using their wrists to manoeuvre a computer mouse or typing on a keyboard. Three of the most common reasons people need musculoskeletal physiotherapy treatment are:
- Back pain — this is the MOST common
- Osteoarthritis and other types of arthritis
- Sports injuries like sprains, strains and fractures.
