A physiotherapist assesses, diagnoses and treats injuries, and "physiotherapist" is a protected title that requires HCPC registration. A sports massage therapist uses hands-on treatment to ease muscle tension and support recovery. A personal trainer builds strength, fitness and performance in the gym. At Physio Athletic all three work in the same building, so they can share a plan.
MSK stands for musculoskeletal. An MSK physiotherapist specialises in muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and bones, which covers sports injuries, back and neck pain and rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery.
