How It Helps
This treatment involves comprehensive assessment and management based on logical principles. It focuses on your potential to self-manage and recovers your previous level of function. For this reason, it is often considered a self-help approach. An MDT clinician will assess and classify problems related to the musculoskeletal system, including the spine, extremity joints, muscles or tendons. The initial assessment is a key feature of the method and offers a safe and reliable format to reach an accurate classification. Here is what you can expect during the treatment:
​ We will conduct an assessment to determine the cause and effect(s) of your pain and if it will respond well to MDT
​ We will develop an appropriate management plan, considering the various factors that can influence your experience of pain and outline a recovery pathway
