Musculoskeletal physiotherapy

staff looking at patient

Our musculoskeletal physiotherapy team is a part of the MSK together alliance, This is a partnership of health organisations working across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood. 
Our physiotherapists help people with problems affecting muscles, joints, bones and tendons. This includes common conditions such as back pain, neck pain and osteoarthritis. These problems are known as musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. 

Our aim is to help you understand your condition and learn how to manage it yourself. We support you to stay independent and active. We look at your daily life, work and hobbies when planning your treatment. Our goal is to help you manage your symptoms and reduce problems in the future where possible. 
We aim to give you the right care at the right time. We want you to understand your options and focus on what matters most to you. 
 
Treatments we may offer include: 

  • Advice and information
  • Exercises
  • Education sessions
  • Group sessions
  • Hands on treatment (manual therapy)
