What does an MSK assessment entail?
In an MSK physiotherapy assessment, you will be asked to provide a detailed history about the onset, nature of the problem, any specific events or activities that might have triggered the issue. You will be asked about your past medical history and medication, as these can impact your treatment. Your therapist will conduct an examination to evaluate and diagnose issues related problem. Wearing shorts is very helpful so your therapist can assess your soft tissue and observe your movements properly.
