Musculoskeletal (MSK) Rehabilitation Service
Rehab care for those recovering from bone,
muscle or joint injury or surgery
People who have had complex hip or knee
replacements, a joint replacement re-done, or severe trauma
due to an accident often need special help to get moving again.

Service provides expertise and education to patients with complex
MSK rehabilitation needs to enable them to achieve their full
