Pain Management in Acute MSK Patients

Acute musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek physiotherapy, yet effective early management is critical in influencing both short-term outcomes and the risk of progression to persistent pain.

Pain Management in Acute MSK Patients provides clinicians with a structured, evidence-based approach to assessing and managing acute pain presentations. The course focuses on appropriate early-stage decision-making, balancing symptom modification with maintaining function and promoting recovery.

Emphasis is placed on practical, clinically applicable strategies that support confident assessment, effective patient communication and the implementation of interventions aligned with best practice evidence.
