Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between MSK physiotherapy and regular physiotherapy?

MSK physiotherapy is a specialized branch focusing specifically on the muscles, joints, and skeletal system, whereas general physiotherapy may also encompass neurological or cardiorespiratory care.
