Pain affecting muscles, joints, and tendons
Musculoskeletal disorders encompass various conditions affecting muscles, tendons, joints, and associated tissues. They can affect the back, neck, shoulders, upper or lower limbs, and cause pain, stiffness, or difficulty performing certain movements at work, in daily life, or during sports.
Care tailored to your movements and limitations
At the Terres Rouges Physiotherapy Clinic, the assessment helps identify painful movements, functional limitations, and the stresses to which you are regularly exposed. Treatment may combine mobility exercises, manual techniques, and progressive strengthening. Depending on the situation, Adrien may also use specific approaches such as the McKenzie Method, radial shockwave therapy, or K-Laser.
What are the symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders?
Musculoskeletal disorders can appear gradually or after significant strain. Their manifestation depends on the area affected and can evolve according to movements, efforts, or daily stresses.
Localized and diffuse muscle or joint pain
Muscle stiffness, joint stiffness or loss of mobility
Pain during certain movements
Loss of strength or difficulty using a limb normally
Persistent discomfort during work, sports or activities
Causes and risk factors
Musculoskeletal disorders are often multifactorial. They can appear after an injury or develop gradually when certain structures are subjected to repeated stress.
The main causes
Repetitive movements at work or in sports
Significant efforts or loads
Injuries or trauma
Prolonged stress
Les facteurs aggravants
Positions maintenues longtemps
Insufficient recovery during sports

Frequently asked questions about musculoskeletal disorders
Which musculoskeletal disorders can be treated with physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is used to treat numerous conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system: lower back pain, neck pain, sprains, tendinopathies, muscle or joint pain, and certain post-traumatic conditions. Treatment depends on the diagnosis, existing limitations, and your activities. Musculoskeletal disorders can affect muscles, joints, tendons, bones, and associated tissues.
Le travail de bureau peut-il provoquer des troubles musculo-squelettiques ?
Office work can contribute to certain musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) when it involves prolonged static positions, limited movement variation, or a poorly designed workstation. However, there is generally no single "bad posture" responsible for pain. Alternating positions, moving regularly, and adjusting workload are often more effective than striving for a perfect posture. Prolonged static positions are among the risk factors identified by EU-OSHA.
Can repetitive movements cause tendinitis or tendinopathy?
Repetitive movements, strenuous activity, or a rapid increase in workload can contribute to the development of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly affecting the tendons. However, tendinopathy is not necessarily linked to a single movement. The physiotherapist identifies the underlying stresses and gradually adjusts the exercises and the load placed on the tendon.
When should you consult a doctor for back, neck or joint pain?
A consultation is particularly relevant when pain persists, recurs regularly, or begins to limit your movement, work, sleep, or sports activities. Severe pain following an injury, significant loss of strength, neurological disorders, or other unusual symptoms warrant a medical evaluation to rule out conditions requiring specific treatment.
