Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Brisbane
At Barefoot Physiotherapy, we provide expert Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy in Brisbane with a deeply personal, holistic approach.
Our goal is to help you move freely, reduce pain, and feel confident in your body again—not just for today, but for the long term. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply want to move better, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
What Is Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy?
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy is a specialised form of physical therapy focused on treating conditions that affect your muscles, joints, bones, ligaments, and connective tissues. It can be incredibly effective in addressing pain, stiffness, weakness, and movement restrictions throughout the body.
At Barefoot, our musculoskeletal physiotherapists in Brisbane look beyond just the site of pain. We explore the full picture—how your body moves, what your daily habits are, and what goals matter most to you. It’s all about uncovering the root cause, not just treating the symptoms.
Your Experience at Barefoot
When you book an appointment for Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at Barefoot, your experience begins well before your first session. One of our physiotherapists will personally call you to:
- Learn more about your condition and what brings you to physiotherapy
- Explain what to expect during your visit
- Ensure you’re feeling confident and prepared before walking into our Red Brick House clinic
This early connection allows us to tailor your care from the very beginning.

Our Treatment Approach: Personal, Thorough, and Holistic
Your initial session is focused entirely on understanding you—your pain, your body, your life. We begin with a relaxed, open conversation about your goals, lifestyle, and what you want to achieve. From there, we begin the Barefoot assessment process:
- A full-body review of movement, strength, motor control, and mobility
- Identification of areas of neural irritation or muscle imbalance
- Postural analysis and stress load assessment
Together, this gives us a comprehensive view of what your body needs to heal and thrive.
Common Conditions We Treat
Our Brisbane Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists are trained to treat a wide variety of conditions, including:
- Shoulder, hip, and knee injuries
- Post-surgical recovery
- Overuse injuries (like tendinopathy or bursitis)
- Sports and workplace injuries
- Chronic pain and stiffness
No matter the condition, we design a personalised treatment plan built around your goals and lifestyle. Every program is guided by the latest evidence-based practices and adapted as you progress.
Your Plan for Long-Term Health
Musculoskeletal issues rarely exist in isolation. That’s why your Barefoot Physio will also explore relevant contributing factors such as:
- Sleep quality
- Stress and mindset
- Physical activity patterns
- Ergonomics at work and home
By understanding your full health context, we help create sustainable change. Your treatment might include:
- Manual therapy to improve joint and soft tissue mobility
- Tailored strengthening and mobility exercises
- Education and coaching for long-term self-management

Collaborative and Respectful Care

- Use of your correct name and pronouns
- A calm, welcoming clinic space where you can feel at ease
