What Is Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy?
Musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy focuses on diagnosing and managing pain and movement problems caused by issues in the body’s muscles, joints, nerves, and soft tissues.
Our registered physiotherapists use a combination of hands-on treatment, exercise therapy, and evidence-based rehabilitation techniques to reduce pain, restore mobility, and prevent future injuries.
Conditions Treated by Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy :
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy focuses on assessing, diagnosing, and treating disorders that affect muscles, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and nerves.
The goal is to reduce pain, restore movement, improve strength and function, and prevent further injury.
Below is a detailed list of conditions commonly treated in physiotherapy clinics across Canada and the U.S.:
1. Back and Spine Conditions
- Low Back Pain (Acute & Chronic): From muscle strain, disc irritation, or poor posture.
- Sciatica: Nerve pain radiating down the leg due to lumbar disc or nerve root compression.
- Herniated or Bulging Disc: Disc material pressing on spinal nerves causing pain and stiffness.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Age-related wear and tear causing stiffness and chronic discomfort.
- Facet Joint Dysfunction: Pain from small joints of the spine due to misalignment or arthritis.
- Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: Pelvic or lower back pain due to imbalance or joint irritation.
- Postural and Mechanical Back Pain: Resulting from sedentary work, muscle imbalance, or poor ergonomics.
2. Neck and Shoulder Disorders
- Neck Pain / Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Common after accidents or repetitive strain.
- Cervical Spondylosis / Arthritis: Degenerative changes in cervical spine leading to stiffness.
- Tension Headaches: Caused by muscular tightness and poor neck posture.
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Stiffness and pain limiting shoulder movement.
- Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tears, tendinopathies, or impingement of shoulder tendons.
- Shoulder Instability / Dislocation: Due to ligament injury or repetitive overhead activity.
- Postural Syndrome: Rounded shoulders, forward head posture, and muscular imbalances.
3. Upper Limb and Elbow Conditions
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Overuse injury causing pain on the outside of the elbow.
- Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Pain on the inside of the elbow from repetitive strain.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Median nerve compression at the wrist causing numbness and tingling.
- Wrist Sprain / Strain: Ligament injury or repetitive motion irritation.
- Biceps / Triceps Tendinopathy: Overuse or degeneration of tendon attachments.
4. Hip and Pelvic Conditions
- Hip Osteoarthritis: Degenerative changes causing stiffness, pain, and reduced range.
- Labral Tears: Injury to the hip cartilage rim causing clicking and deep groin pain.
- Trochanteric Bursitis / Gluteal Tendinopathy: Pain on the outer hip from inflammation or overuse.
- Piriformis Syndrome: Compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle.
- Pelvic Girdle Pain / SI Joint Dysfunction: Often postpartum or due to instability.
5. Knee Conditions
- Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (“Runner’s Knee”): Pain around kneecap due to misalignment or muscle imbalance.
- Meniscus Injuries: Cartilage tears causing pain, locking, or clicking.
- Ligament Sprains / Tears: ACL, PCL, MCL, or LCL injuries from sports or trauma.
- Knee Osteoarthritis: Joint degeneration leading to stiffness and swelling.
- Iliotibial Band (ITB) Syndrome: Lateral knee pain common in runners or cyclists.
- Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Following ACL reconstruction, meniscectomy, or knee replacement.
6. Foot and Ankle Conditions
- Ankle Sprains: Ligament injuries due to inversion or eversion trauma.
- Achilles Tendinopathy: Overuse of Achilles tendon leading to pain and thickening.
- Plantar Fasciitis: Heel pain from inflammation of the plantar fascia.
- Flat Feet (Pes Planus) or High Arches (Pes Cavus): Structural issues causing gait problems.
- Post-Fracture Rehabilitation: Regaining movement and strength after immobilization.
7. Nerve-Related & Postural Syndromes
- Nerve Entrapments (e.g., Ulnar, Radial, Sciatic): Compression causing pain, tingling, or weakness.
- Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Nerve or vessel compression between neck and shoulder.
- Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): Pain disorder following injury or nerve trauma.
- Postural Dysfunction: Muscle imbalances from long sitting, repetitive movements, or ergonomic strain.
8. Post-Surgical and Post-Fracture Rehabilitation
- Joint Replacements: Shoulder, hip, knee replacements.
- Arthroscopic Surgeries: ACL, rotator cuff, labral or meniscal repairs.
- Fracture Fixation Recovery: Regaining range, mobility, and strength after immobilization.
- Spinal Surgery Rehabilitation: Gradual return to mobility and function post-operation.
9. Sports and Overuse Injuries
- Muscle Strains and Tears: Hamstring, quadriceps, calf, or adductor strains.
- Ligament Sprains: Common in ankle, knee, and wrist due to sports trauma.
- Tendinopathies: Chronic overuse of tendons (e.g., Achilles, rotator cuff, patellar).
- Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome): Pain along the shin bone from repetitive impact.
- Overtraining Syndromes: Fatigue, muscle tightness, and joint overload.
10. Arthritic and Degenerative Conditions

- Degenerative Joint Disease: Chronic stiffness and loss of movement from wear and tear.
11. Chronic Pain and Functional Disorders
- Fibromyalgia: Widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue.
- Chronic Myofascial Pain: Trigger point and fascial tension syndromes.
- Postural Fatigue and Workplace Injuries: Pain related to poor ergonomics or repetitive strain.
