Physiotherapy · Milan and Monza
Musculoskeletal rehabilitation
An assessment and rehabilitation pathway for muscle, joint and tendon pain and problems, aimed at restoring movement, strength and the capacity to return to the activities that matter to you.
Assessment
Understand the problem before treating it
The initial assessment helps reconstruct the history of the problem, understand which activities trigger or increase symptoms and identify factors that may be addressed through rehabilitation.
I do not look at pain alone. Mobility, strength, load tolerance and movement control are considered alongside psychological and social factors, lifestyle, sleep, stress and the demands of daily life, work or sport. All of these elements help shape the rehabilitation plan.
If the assessment identifies features that warrant further medical investigation, the priority is to refer the person to the appropriate healthcare professional.
The process
A rehabilitation pathway built together
Rehabilitation is adapted to the individual, their goals, their circumstances and the changes that emerge throughout the process.
Active listening
I listen to your story, the problem you are experiencing and the activities that matter to you.
Assessment
The physiotherapy assessment combines discussion, observation and relevant tests to better understand the problem.
Planning
We plan the pathway together, considering your goals, available time and realistic rehabilitation timeframes.
Progression
Load and demands are gradually increased according to your response, progress and the activities you want to recover.
Independence
The aim is to give you practical tools and confidence to manage movement, activity and recovery more independently.
Goals
The goal is not only to reduce pain
Recovery is built around the activities you want to return to and the capacities required to perform them.
Move with more confidence
Rebuild confidence in movement and gradually address fear of movement or fear of provoking pain again when this is part of the problem.
Regain strength
Progressively rebuild strength and the capacity to tolerate load.
Return to activity
Progress back to work, daily life, physical activity or sport.
Become more independent
Develop practical tools to manage the problem and your activity level over time.
