Musculoskeletal Therapy or MST is a hands on therapy working holistically to identify, treat and manage musculoskeletal pain or injury in any region of the body.
Thorough physical examination including functional and neurological testing helps to establish the cause of the pain and dysfunction to create comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation plans to address the cause, not simply relieve symptoms.
Musculoskeletal Therapists employ a range of techniques such as joint and neural mobilizations, dry needling, muscle energy technique and soft tissue release to provide greater range of movement and reduction of pain more efficiently than experienced through traditional massage therapy.
