Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at Activ8 Physio, Malvern

At Activ8 Physio we offer specialized musculoskeletal physiotherapy services designed to address and treat a variety of conditions affecting the spine, shoulder, elbow, hand, wrist, hip, knee, foot, and ankle.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, preparing for surgery, or rehabilitating post surgery, our physiotherapists use evidence-based techniques to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore strength.

Spine Physiotherapy

The spine is central to our body’s structural integrity and mobility. Maintaining a healthy spine is essential for posture, movement, and preventing chronic issues that can arise from poor alignment or weak supporting muscles.

Shoulder Physiotherapy

The shoulder is one of the most flexible and complex joints in the body, allowing a wide range of motion necessary for activities like lifting, reaching, and throwing. However, this flexibility makes the shoulder vulnerable to injuries such as rotator cuff tears, impingement, and frozen shoulder.

Elbow Physiotherapy

The elbow is a critical joint for hand and arm movement, making it essential for daily tasks and sports that require bending, lifting, and gripping. Elbow issues often result from overuse, with conditions like tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow being common.

Hand and Wrist Physiotherapy

The hand and wrist are essential for dexterity, grip strength, and fine motor skills needed in everyday tasks and activities. Hand and wrist conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, and tendon injuries, can significantly impact function and quality of life.

Hip and Knee Physiotherapy

The hip and knee joints are essential weight-bearing structures that support standing, walking, running, and many other daily and recreational activities. Injuries or degenerative conditions, such as osteoarthritis, hip labral tears, and IT band syndrome, can impair movement and lead to pain and instability.

Foot and Ankle Physiotherapy

The foot and ankle provide balance, stability, and the foundation for all standing and walking movements. They are particularly prone to injuries such as sprains, tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis, often due to repetitive strain or poor alignment. These conditions can impair walking, running, and even standing comfortably.

Pre and Post-Operative Physiotherapy

Pre and post-operative physiotherapy is essential for anyone preparing for or recovering from surgery, especially for joints and musculoskeletal injuries. Pre-operative physiotherapy strengthens muscles and enhances flexibility, improving surgical outcomes and recovery times.
