Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is an effective and gentle approach to managing conditions of the spine including spinal osteoarthritis.Your pain may be caused by altered joint mobility, neural tissue or muscle imbalance.

Conditions treated include:

• Neck pain & headaches
• Jaw joint pain (TMJ)
• Upper limb pain, referred pain
• Mid back and rib pain
• Lower back pain
• Lower limb referred pain
• Pre- and post-natal SIJ pain
• Scoliosis and poor posture

Your pain may alter how you move, causing muscles to become tight or weak resulting in muscle imbalance. Effective, simplified exercises can see significant improvement quickly, for conditions such as:

• Shoulder or upper limb pain may be referred pain from your neck or localised muscle imbalance. Targeted exercises help you achieve lasting results for shoulder issues.
• Hip, knee, ankle or foot problems respond to treatment that may include joint mobilising to improve movement. Lateral hip pain for example responds well to targeted effective exercises.
• Muscle related conditions may cause muscle or tendon tears, addressing any underlying muscle imbalances is important for lasting results.
• Bone and joint related conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, ankylosing spondylitis, post injury fractures or joint dislocations are conditions managed by AB Physiotherapy Fremantle.
  

Musculoskeletal physiotherapy treatments include:

• joint mobilisation
• joint manipulation
• muscle treatments such as dry needling and massage
• functional movement retraining
• simple postural and breathing exercises

• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Headaches including tension type and migraine headaches
• Jaw pain
• Pelvic girdle pain, buttock pain
• Arm pain(tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, golfer’s elbow)
• Shoulder bursitis, impingement and muscle imbalance
• Lower limb pain (sciatica,hamstrings and calf muscle, OA knee)
