Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy (MSK)

Assessment and treatment of pain or injury involving joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves.

What it is:

Musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of pain or dysfunction in joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. At Ocampo Clinics, every treatment is evidence-based and tailored to your specific condition, using advanced assessment tools and hands-on expertise to address both symptoms and the root cause. Outcomes include reduced pain, restored mobility, and improved long-term function.

Why it is beneficial:

Without proper rehabilitation, musculoskeletal problems often become recurrent or chronic. Expert physiotherapy prevents long-term disability by correcting faulty movement patterns and restoring natural biomechanics. We aim not only to relieve pain but to optimise how your body performs in daily life.

When it is recommended:

Acute or persistent joint/muscle pain
After minor injuries not requiring surgery
For postural-related discomfort (e.g. work strain)
When everyday activity or exercise feels restricted

Includes:

Back and neck pain
Shoulder impingement & rotator cuff injuries
Knee pathologies (meniscus tears, patellofemoral pain)
Tendinopathies (Achilles, patellar, elbow, etc.)
Joint instabilities
Sciatica and nerve entrapment syndromes
Post-fracture rehabilitation

Orofacial Pain & TMJ Physiotherapy

What it is:

A specialist physiotherapy service dedicated to the management of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) and orofacial pain. This includes conditions affecting the jaw, face, and cranio-cervical region. Using advanced manual therapy, dry needling, and neuro-muscular techniques, the goal is to restore jaw function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life.

Why it is beneficial:

Jaw and orofacial dysfunctions often affect daily activities such as chewing, speaking, or even sleeping. Untreated, they can also contribute to headaches, neck pain, and long-term facial asymmetries. Specialist care ensures safe, effective, and targeted recovery.

When it is recommended:

Jaw clicking, locking, or painful movement
Orofacial pain associated with bruxism or dental work
Post-dental/surgical jaw dysfunction
Facial nerve issues or Bell’s Palsy recovery

Ideal for treating:

Temporomandibular joint disorders (clicking, locking, pain)
Bruxism-related jaw and facial tension
Orofacial myalgia
Bell’s Palsy & facial neuropathies
Cervicogenic headaches linked to TMJ dysfunction

Specialist Dry Needling

What it is

Dry needling is a minimally invasive therapy that uses fine, sterile needles inserted into muscle trigger points or specific systemic areas. At Ocampo Clinics, it is performed following international safety protocols, with integration into a wider rehabilitation plan. Dry needling helps release tight bands of muscle, restore mobility, and stimulate healing responses in both musculoskeletal and systemic conditions.

Why it’s beneficial

It provides immediate relief of muscle tightness, reduces local and referred pain, and improves circulation. It is also highly effective when combined with physiotherapy, accelerating tissue repair and restoring functional movement.

When it’s recommended

Persistent muscular pain or stiffness
Sports-related muscle overuse
Chronic headaches or neck/shoulder tension
As part of systemic pain management reduction is needed for functional gains

Ideal for treating:

Myofascial trigger points
Neck and back muscle pain
Headaches and migraines
Sports muscle overuse injuries
Postural muscle tightness

Paediatric MSK Physiotherapy

What it is:

Specialised physiotherapy for children focusing on musculoskeletal growth, posture, and neuro-motor development. At Ocampo Clinics, this service combines gentle, child-friendly techniques with family-centred care, ensuring safe support for developmental milestones and early orthopaedic conditions.

Why it is beneficial:

Early physiotherapy intervention prevents minor concerns from becoming long-term problems. It supports natural growth, corrects gait issues, and promotes healthy motor development, giving children the best foundation for future mobility.

When it is recommended:

Visible gait irregularities
Concerns about motor development milestones
After orthopaedic procedures such as clubfoot casting
When referred by a paediatrician or orthopaedic specialist

Ideal for treating:

Congenital torticollis
Clubfoot (post-casting rehabilitation)
In-toeing & out-toeing gait
Flat feet or abnormal lower limb development
Delayed psychomotor development
Early scoliosis or postural dysfunction
Plagiocephaly (positional head asymmetry)

Sports Injury & Perfomance Rehabilitation

What it is:

A specialised physiotherapy service for athletes and active individuals, focusing on both injury management and performance optimisation. Using a combination of manual therapy, strength and conditioning, biomechanical assessment, and return-to-sport protocols, we help clients recover safely and perform at their peak.

Why it is beneficial:

Sports physiotherapy ensures you not only recover from injury but also return stronger and more resilient. It reduces risk of re-injury, corrects movement faults, and maximises performance potential.

When it is recommended:

Acute sports injuries (sprains, muscle tears, ligament injuries)
Persistent pain affecting training or competition
During rehabilitation phases post-surgery or acute injury
For athletes aiming to improve performance and prevent injuries

Ideal for treating:

Ligament sprains (ankle, knee, shoulder)
Muscle strains and tears
Tendinopathies from overuse
Post-surgical return-to-sport
Movement inefficiencies impacting performance

Chronic Pain & Central Sensitisation

What it is:

A specialised service for individuals with persistent pain lasting longer than expected after tissue healing. Chronic pain often involves central sensitisation, where the nervous system amplifies pain signals. At Ocampo Clinics, we combine manual therapy, education, graded exercise, and evidence-based strategies to restore function and improve quality of life.

Why it is beneficial:

Traditional treatments alone may not resolve chronic pain. Our approach acknowledges both the physical and neurological dimensions of pain, helping to reduce hypersensitivity, improve movement confidence, and restore independence.

When it is recommended:

Persistent pain lasting >3 months
Pain disproportionate to imaging findings
Conditions such as fibromyalgia or neuropathic pain
When conventional treatments haven’t worked

Ideal for treating:

Fibromyalgia
Persistent low back or neck pain
Post-operative pain syndromes
Nerve-related pain
Complex regional pain syndromes

Expert-led rehabilitation for lasting recovery

At Ocampo Clinics, we offer specialised post-operative physiotherapy designed to support your full recovery after orthopaedic surgery. Led by Julian Ocampo, MSK Physiotherapist and MSc in Orthopaedics and Pain Management this service provides tailored, evidence-based rehabilitation to restore mobility, build strength and relieve pain in a structured and safe way.

What it is

Post-operative physiotherapy focuses on guided recovery following surgeries such as joint replacements, ligament reconstructions, arthroscopies, fracture fixations and spinal procedures. Your rehabilitation plan is fully customised to your surgery, goals and healing stage, ensuring you progress confidently through each phase of recovery.

Why it is beneficial

Recovering from surgery without physiotherapy often leads to joint stiffness, muscle weakness and long-term movement limitations. At Ocampo Clinics, we help you:

Regain full range of motion and function
Improve postural control and biomechanics
Reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling
Prevent complications like scar tissue, joint contracture or compensatory patterns
Return to daily life and physical activity safely and confidently

When it is recommended

Post-operative physiotherapy should ideally begin shortly after your procedure either in the early recovery stage or as soon as your surgeon or medical team advises. We also support patients who may have delayed rehab or need more advanced intervention after a slow recovery.

Ideal for recovery after:

ACL reconstruction or meniscus surgery
Hip, knee, or shoulder replacements
Arthroscopic joint repairs
Fracture fixation or realignment surgery
Spinal surgery (e.g. discectomy, laminectomy, fusion)
Foot and ankle procedures (e.g. bunionectomy, tendon repair)
