Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Personalised treatment for muscle, joint, and movement pain, focused on lasting recovery.
What Is Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy?
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy focuses on pain and movement problems affecting the muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, and surrounding soft tissues. These issues can develop suddenly through injury or gradually over time due to posture, repetitive strain, or lifestyle demands.
People commonly seek musculoskeletal physiotherapy for neck pain, lower back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, joint stiffness, muscle tightness, and work-related aches that begin to interfere with daily life. Left unaddressed, these problems can become persistent and affect sleep, concentration, and overall mobility.
At GK Physiotherapy, treatment begins with a thorough assessment rather than a quick diagnosis. The aim is to understand why the pain started, not just where it hurts. This includes evaluating movement patterns, joint mechanics, muscle balance, and everyday activities that may be contributing to the problem.
Conditions Commonly Treated
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is commonly used to manage and treat:
-
Neck pain and stiffness
-
Lower back pain and sciatica
-
Shoulder pain and frozen shoulder
-
Knee pain and joint instability
-
Muscle strains and soft tissue injuries
-
Arthritis-related discomfort

Hands-on treatment to improve joint mobility and reduce muscle tension

Targeted strengthening and mobility exercises

Practical advice to support recovery outside the clinic
Treatment evolves as progress is made. The focus is on steady improvement, not rushed results, ensuring changes are sustainable rather than temporary.
A Practical, Experience-Led Approach
With years of clinical experience treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, Gehad takes a calm and structured approach to care. Treatment is clear, evidence-based, and adapted to the individual rather than following generic protocols.
Patients are guided through their recovery with clear explanations and realistic expectations. The emphasis is on restoring confidence in movement, improving function, and reducing the risk of the problem returning — whether that means returning to work comfortably, staying active, or simply moving without constant discomfort.
