What is the difference between MSK therapy and massage?
The short answer
Massage works mainly on muscle tension. MSK therapy starts with a physiotherapist's assessment to identify the cause of your pain, then combines soft tissue work with joint mobilisation and corrective exercise. It is a good choice when massage helps for a few days but the same pain keeps coming back.
