The Musculoskeletal Specialty Group is one of the specialty groups of the Hong Kong Physiotherapy Association with the aims for the promotion of musculoskeletal health and public education on physiotherapy for the musculoskeletal system of the body. Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is a specialized area of physiotherapy treating injuries and conditions that affect muscles, bones, joints and soft tissues, such as fractures, arthritis, sprains and overuse syndromes etc. With detailed assessment, the physiotherapist will identify the client’s/patient’s problems, set treatment goals and design an appropriate rehabilitation plan. Treatments may include exercise therapy, manual therapy, electrotherapy, and self-management strategies etc. The purposes of the treatments are to reduce pain and inflammation, optimize healing of the injured tissues, strengthen muscle and motor control, increase joint range of motion and soft tissue flexibility, restore normal movements, and ultimately to improve body functions and independence.
