Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy in Dhanori, Pune: Pain-Free Movement Starts Here
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is the assessment and treatment of pain and dysfunction affecting muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia. Dr. Nikita Thool at BONE & SPINE Advanced Physiotherapy Clinic in Dhanori, Pune treats soft tissue injuries, tendinopathies and chronic muscular pain using manual therapy and targeted exercise.
The Difference Between Musculoskeletal and Orthopaedic Physiotherapy
While the two terms overlap, musculoskeletal physiotherapy focuses specifically on soft tissue: muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia. Orthopaedic physiotherapy is broader and includes bony structures and joint mechanics. At Dr. Nikita’s clinic, both approaches are used together based on what each patient’s assessment reveals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sustained sitting compresses the lumbar discs, shortens hip flexors and creates chronic tension in the neck and upper trapezius muscles. Over time, this leads to myofascial pain, postural dysfunction and referred pain that can mimic nerve compression.
Acute soft tissue injuries often respond within 3 to 5 sessions. Chronic patterns of muscle tension or tendinopathy may require 8 to 12 weeks of consistent treatment and exercise compliance.
