Musculoskeletal physiotherapy treats problems of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. Back pain, neck pain, shoulder stiffness and knee pain are the most common reasons people visit. These problems often begin slowly, then start to affect simple things, such as sitting through a meal, turning to check traffic, reaching a shelf or climbing the stairs at home.
People looking for physiotherapy in Mumbai for aches and stiffness are examined for movement, strength and posture. The therapist looks for the cause, not only the sore spot. A tight neck, for example, may come from long hours at a screen, and it can bring headaches and tired eyes along with it. Treatment combines hands-on techniques, exercise and advice on daily habits such as sitting, lifting and sleeping positions.
Most musculoskeletal problems improve with the right kind of movement, and rest alone seldom solves them. Scans are needed only when symptoms point to a deeper cause. The therapist sends the patient back to the doctor if warning signs such as night pain, numbness, weakness or unexplained weight loss appear.
