Musculoskeletal (MSK) Physiotherapy

Specialized Treatment for Pain and Movement Disorders

Expert MSK Care in Preston

Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions affect the muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and nerves that support your body and enable movement. When these structures are injured or dysfunctional, they can cause significant pain and limit your ability to work, exercise, and enjoy daily activities.

At Rehab Genius Health, our HCPC registered physiotherapists specialize in diagnosing and treating the full spectrum of MSK conditions. Using evidence-based techniques and personalized treatment plans, we address not just your symptoms but the underlying causes of your pain and dysfunction.

Common MSK Conditions We Treat

Specialized Care for Diverse Musculoskeletal Issues

Lower Back Pain and Sciatica

Lower back pain affects up to 80% of adults at some point in their lives and is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. At Rehab Genius Health, we provide expert assessment and treatment for various causes of back pain, including:

Disc-Related Issues

Our specialized approach addresses herniated discs, bulging discs, and degenerative disc disease through targeted manual therapy, specific exercises, and postural education. We focus on decompressing affected nerves, improving spinal mobility, and strengthening core stability to provide lasting relief.

Sciatica

When the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated, it can cause radiating pain, numbness, and tingling down the leg. Our treatment for sciatica includes nerve mobilization techniques, specific stretches, and progressive strengthening exercises that target the root cause of nerve compression.

Facet Joint Dysfunction

Problems with the small joints in your spine can cause localized pain and stiffness. Our physiotherapists use specialized manual therapy techniques to improve joint mobility, combined with specific exercises to maintain proper alignment and function.

Muscle Strains and Spasms

Acute muscle injuries respond well to our comprehensive approach that includes hands-on release techniques, therapeutic modalities, and progressive rehabilitation to restore normal muscle function and prevent recurrence.

Neck Pain and Headaches

Cervical Spine Disorders

We effectively treat conditions such as cervical spondylosis, disc problems, and facet joint dysfunction through specialized manual therapy and targeted exercise programs that improve neck mobility and strength.

Tension Headaches

Many headaches originate from neck and shoulder tension. Our physiotherapists identify and address the muscular, postural, and stress-related factors contributing to your headaches, providing lasting relief where medication alone often fails.

Whiplash and Post-Injury Neck Pain

Following accidents or injuries, our careful assessment and graduated treatment approach helps restore normal movement patterns while respecting tissue healing times, ensuring optimal recovery without aggravating symptoms.

Tech Neck and Postural Syndromes

Increasingly common in our digital world, we address the forward head posture and upper body tension associated with prolonged screen use through a combination of manual therapy, postural re-education, and ergonomic advice.

Shoulder Conditions

Rotator Cuff Injuries

Our specialized approach to rotator cuff tears, tendinopathy, and impingement syndrome includes targeted manual therapy, specific strengthening exercises, and movement retraining to restore pain-free shoulder function.

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

This painful and restrictive condition responds well to our progressive treatment approach that combines specialized mobilization techniques with a carefully graduated home exercise program to restore range of motion and function.

Shoulder Instability

Whether from sports injuries or inherent laxity, we address shoulder instability through specific rehabilitation that focuses on improving rotator cuff strength, scapular control, and proprioception to provide stability and prevent recurrent dislocations.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Following shoulder surgeries such as rotator cuff repair or stabilization procedures, our physiotherapists work closely with your surgeon to provide optimal rehabilitation that respects healing timeframes while progressively restoring function.

Knee Pain

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Often called "runner's knee," this common condition responds well to our comprehensive approach that addresses biomechanical factors, muscle imbalances, and movement patterns to reduce pain and improve function.

Meniscal Injuries

Whether from acute tears or degenerative changes, our treatment for meniscal issues focuses on reducing pain and swelling while restoring normal knee mechanics and strength to support optimal function.

Ligament Sprains and Instability

From mild sprains to post-surgical rehabilitation for ACL reconstruction, we provide carefully progressed treatment programs that restore stability, strength, and confidence in your knee function.

Osteoarthritis

Our evidence-based approach to knee osteoarthritis includes specific exercises, manual therapy, and education about activity modification that can significantly reduce pain and improve function, often delaying or eliminating the need for surgery.

Hip Disorders

Hip Osteoarthritis

Our specialized approach combines manual therapy to improve joint mobility with targeted strengthening and functional exercises that reduce pain and improve walking ability.

Hip Bursitis and Tendinopathy

These painful conditions respond well to our comprehensive treatment that addresses inflammation, muscular imbalances, and biomechanical factors contributing to tissue overload.

Labral Tears and Impingement

For these complex conditions, we provide specialized rehabilitation that focuses on restoring normal hip mechanics, improving muscle support, and modifying activities to reduce joint stress.

Post-Hip Replacement Rehabilitation

Our physiotherapists are experienced in guiding recovery after hip replacement surgery, providing progressive rehabilitation that respects precautions while optimizing your return to daily activities.

Ankle and Foot Problems

Ankle Sprains and Instability

Our comprehensive approach to ankle injuries addresses acute pain and swelling while progressively rebuilding strength, proprioception, and confidence to prevent chronic instability.

Plantar Fasciitis

This common cause of heel pain responds well to our targeted treatment approach that includes specific manual therapy, foot mechanics assessment, and progressive loading exercises.

Achilles Tendinopathy

Our evidence-based approach to Achilles problems includes specialized loading programs, manual therapy, and assessment of contributing factors to provide lasting relief and return to activity.

Foot Biomechanical Issues

We assess and address problems with foot mechanics that can contribute to pain throughout the lower limb, providing specific exercises, advice on footwear, and when necessary, referral for orthotic therapy.

Patient Testimonials

What Our Patients Say

“After suffering with lower back pain and sciatica for over a year, I had almost given up hope. Previous treatments provided only temporary relief. The team at Rehab Genius took a completely different approach, identifying issues with my movement patterns that no one else had noticed. After just six sessions, I was pain-free and back to gardening and walking—activities I thought I might never enjoy again.

“Following a complex shoulder injury, I was struggling to return to work as a carpenter. The MSK specialists at Rehab Genius not only relieved my pain but helped me understand how to move and work differently to prevent re-injury. Their practical approach made all the difference, and I'm now back to full-time work without limitations.
