Musculoskeletal Health Maintenance

An annual musculoskeletal health check (a structured assessment of movement quality, strength, joint mobility, and postural alignment) is the physiotherapy equivalent of a medical check-up. For active adults over 35, for athletes with a history of recurring injuries, and for anyone who wants to maintain or improve their physical capacity rather than simply managing the consequences of neglect, a regular MSK health maintenance consultation identifies the developing issues that would otherwise present as injuries three to six months later.

At this practice, MSK health maintenance consultations generate a detailed assessment of the patient's current physical status, a comparison against previous assessments where these exist, and an updated exercise and management programme addressing any new deficits or emerging pathologies. They are the most efficient way to stay healthy, perform consistently, and avoid the disruption and cost of acute injury management.
