Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is a specialist branch of physiotherapy focused on assessing, diagnosing, and treating injuries or conditions affecting muscles, joints, nerves, ligaments, tendons, and bones. It helps manage pain, restore movement, and improve strength and function following injury, surgery, or chronic conditions such as arthritis. Treatment often includes manual therapy, exercises, education, and lifestyle advice. This approach promotes recovery, prevents future issues, and supports overall physical health and mobility across all age groups. At Evidence-Based Therapy Centre, all of our physiotherapists are chartered and registered with CORU, the statutory body for regulating healthcare professionals in Ireland

Assessment and diagnosis comes first!
To ensure a thorough assessment and accurate diagnosis, the first session is 60 minutes long. This gives time for you to ask lots of questions and to make sure that you understand:
- What is wrong with me?
• Why has this happened to me?
• How long will it take to get better?
• What can I do to help myself?
• What are the treatment options?
• What is the relevant research evidence?
A treatment plan can then be discussed and agreed and usually we can start treatment straight away.
Treatment sessions and treatment approaches
The subsequent follow-up appointments are usually 30 minutes long.
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists use a wide variety of skills including manual techniques (joint/spinal mobilisation, soft tissue releases), therapeutic exercise, acupuncture, electrical muscle stimulation (TENS), Clinical Pilates, education and advice in order to relieve symptoms, restore function and prevent recurrence. To achieve the desired treatment goals you will often need to actively participate in the therapy and do some exercises at home and make changes to some of your activities.

Physiotherapy-led classes & programmes
Physiotherapy-led exercise classes are designed and delivered by chartered and CORU-registered physiotherapists. Unlike exercise classes at a local gym, they are tailored to the needs of people who are recovering from pain or injury or managing long-term conditions. We keep the class numbers small so that participants can be closely supervised as they are guided through the exercises in a safe and effective manner.
Physiotherapists are experts in modifying and adapting exercises for the individuals with acute or chronic injuries or limited mobility. Our physiotherapy led exercise classes aim to help you reach your goals regardless of your age or ability and we have various different programmes suitable for a range of people and conditions. Our exercise classes are led by Nigel Plummer who has a special interest in exercise therapy. He is well known for his gentle and personable approach and for creating a fun class environment to help you to safely challenge yourself.
