What is a musculoskeletal (MSK) assessment?

Answer: #2 A musculoskeletal (MSK) assessment is a comprehensive analysis of your body that identifies your risk factors for certain injuries.

Have you ever wondered where a sudden ache or pain that wasn’t caused by injury suddenly comes from? We’ve all experienced it. But what if there was a simple test that could detect your risk for life-altering injuries? A musculoskeletal assessment is a comprehensive analysis of your body that considers nearly 1,000 points of data related to your musculoskeletal health. Once complete, the MSK assessment will provide scores showing any risk factors for injury to your neck, back, arms, and legs.

The benefits of completing a MSK assessment include prevention of future injury, increased productivity, and much more.

True or False? Most musculoskeletal injuries are preventable.

A: True.

Musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders are injuries or disorders of the muscles, nerves, tendons, joints, cartilage, and spinal discs. When you suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, simple movements such as walking, driving, and cooking meals can be difficult.

Symptoms of musculoskeletal injuries can include pain, stiffness, swelling, numbness, and tingling. A musculoskeletal (MSK) assessment is the best way to identify your risk factors for certain injuries if you are dealing with any of these common symptoms. Once your risk factors are identified, a home therapy program designed by our expert therapists can help prevent future injuries.
