Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

The Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Department is dedicated to the diagnosis, management, and treatment of a wide range of disorders and injuries related to the musculoskeletal system. This includes comprehensive rehabilitation following orthopedic surgeries. The department focuses on training students in the physiotherapy management of both non-operative and post-operative orthopedic conditions. These conditions encompass a variety of issues such as fractures, acute sports injuries, different forms of arthritis, sprains, strains, back and neck pain, spinal conditions, and amputations.

Students receive hands-on training in the latest techniques for restoring function and alleviating pain for individuals who have sustained injuries or are suffering from diseases impacting the muscles, bones, ligaments, and tendons. Specialized care is provided to patients recovering from surgeries like joint replacements or ligament reconstructions. The curriculum also emphasizes preventive care, guiding students on how to assist patients in avoiding further complications through strength-building, mobility exercises, and personalized treatment plans.

Patients with musculoskeletal disorders, whether chronic or acute, significantly benefit from a thorough assessment by physical therapists who specialize in orthopedics. These assessments are designed to develop targeted rehabilitation strategies aimed at improving functional capacity, reducing pain, enhancing mobility, and ultimately promoting a higher quality of life.
