Musculoskeletal Therapy (MST) is a form of health care providing hands on treatment and ongoing management of acute and chronic pain, dysfunction and injury of muscular and skeletal conditions.
MST offers a wide range of hands on techniques to help alleviate contractile muscle tissue caused by overuse, misuse or injury to get you back to pain free movement.
These include:
- Remedial massage
- Joint mobilisation
- Cupping
- Trigger point therapy
- Dry needling
- Myofascial release
- Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching
- Muscle energy technique (MET)
An initial consultation involves an assessment of your complaint followed by treatment targeted at relieving your symptoms and the structures involved. A follow up or ongoing treatment looks at treating the cause to prevent future symptoms re-occurring.
Exercises and stretches may be prescribed to enhance treatment sessions.
