MUSCULOSKELETAL PHYSIOTHERAPY

Hands on Healing

At the TMJ & Headache Clinic, our staff have undergone extensive postgraduate training in musculoskeletal health. We deliver hands-on therapy and exercise programs to get you better quickly.

​

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists are experts in the management of musculoskeletal and spinal related pain.  A Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist will use their expert assessment skills to diagnose the problem and then provide fast and effective treatment usually combining a hands on approach as well as exercise and advice. 

​

Common conditions we treat:-

Back and neck pain

Whiplash

Sports injuries

Concussion

TMJ and Orofacial pain

Workplace injuries and rehabilitation

Sprained ligaments

Strained muscles and tendons

Trapped nerves

Post-Op/Post Trauma joint stiffness/muscle weakness

​

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists have also been trained in the manipulation of spinal joints. 

This is a very specific skill where the therapist moves the joints into a locked position then 

gently and quickly manipulates these joints, resulting in a “cracking or popping” sound. 

This technique is very effective in quickly relieving pain and stiffness.
