What is Musculoskeleta?

Hello Everyone,


Now we've been blogging about us here at Therapyworks Ltd and what we do but i've notice that we haven't really gone into detail about Musculoskeleta. Now many of you will most likely be wondering what this is so today we will be giving you a little bit more about this.


So what is Musculoskeleta?


A musculoskeletal system (also known as the locomotor system) is an organ system that gives animals (including humans) the ability to move using the muscular and skeletal system. The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body.

It is made up of the body's bones (the skeleton), muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. The musculoskeletal system's primary functions include supporting the body, allowing motion, and protecting vital organs. The skeletal portion of the system serves as the main storage system for calcium and phosphors  and contains critical components of the hamatopoictic system.

This system describes how bones are connected to other bones and muscle fibers via connective tissue such as tendons and ligaments. The bones provide the stability to a body in analogy to iron rods in concrete construction. Muscles keep bones in place and also play a role in movement of the bones. To allow motion, different bones are connected by joints. Cartilage prevents the bone ends from rubbing directly on to each other. Muscles contract (bunch up) to move the bone attached at the joint.

So what is Musculoskeleta Injury?

Musculoskeletal injury (MI, not to be confused with myocardial infraction) refers to damage of muscular or skeletal systems, which is usually due to a strenuous activity. In one study, roughly 25% of approximately 6300 adults received a musculoskeletal injury of some sort within 12 months—of which 83% were activity-related. MI spans into a large variety of medical specialities including orthopaedic surgery (with diseases such as arthritis requiring surgery), emergency medicine (acute presentations of joint and muscular pain) and rheumatology (in rheumatological diseases that affect joints such as rheumatoid arthritis ). In many cases, during the healing period after a Musculoskeletal injury, a period in which the healing area will be completely immobile, a cast-induced muscle atrophy can occur. Routine sessions of physiotherapy after the cast is removed can help return regain strength in limp muscles or tendons. Alternately, there exist different methods of electrical stimulation of the immobile muscles which can be induced by a device placed underneath a cast, helping prevent atrophy.

So thats it! you now know all about Musculoskeleta and Musculoskeleta Injury. Why don't you come back on next week to find out more about Musculoskeleta Physiotherapy?

It's all about us!

Hello fellow bloggers!


Thank you to all yesterday who came along and read our blog. Today I will be telling you all about Therapyworks and what we do. I hope you find it interesting an can clear up any questions you might have about us here.


ok so lets get started.


First things first did you know that according to the The British Pain Society almost 10 million people suffer with Chronic Pain. Chronic Pain has the power to put your life on hold. As you've probably found, if you suffer with this, simple day to day functions can be daunting, or even impossible - and the impact can be felt in your private and professional life.
Historically, the management of disease, injury, and even childbirth involved long periods of hospitalization, bed rest, and convalescence. Health care practitioners used a narrow disease/impairment-based model in which patients were passive recipients of care. Physical therapists working within such a "rest for recovery" framework developed skills and techniques of which many were passive, some were modality-based, and most were lengthy.

Health care has changed in recent decades. Early activity for recovery of function is now encouraged, and the impairment model has broadened to include psychosocial components. A multidisciplinary team approach now includes the patient as an educated and active participant, and physical therapy treatments emphasize activity. The therapist's role has changed from healer to helper. Therapists help patients address and overcome physical and psychological obstacles, return to activities, and achieve personal goals.

How can physiotherapy help?

Here at Therapyworks, we take an holistic approach to pain. Naturally, as physiotherapists, our first priority is to relieve your symptoms – but we’re just as concerned with the root causes of pain and helping you to prevent (or at least limit) your pain in the future.
At our private physiotherapy clinic, we treat clients with all types of injury, from whiplash to sports or work injuries, through to simple overuse. Using the very latest physiotherapy techniques, we’ll explore every aspect of your pain - then work with you to restore a healthy and active way of life.
