MSK screening is a series of standardised tests to gain information about a specific body area. These may include tests to assess strength, flexibility, joint range of motion or postural types.
This information can help a clinician identify areas for improvement, which may help a person with pain, dysfunction or performance.Posture can play a significant role in causing pain and lack of function.
Many people, from students/desk-based workers who sit for prolonged periods of time using electronic devices to athletes who perform repetitive tasks, can suffer postural issues. Screening is a fantastic way to pre-empt potential problems and prevent rather than cure them.
