Musculoskeletal Pain & Dysfunction – Skeletal muscle is the largest single organ of the human body and accounts for 40% or more of the body’s weight. Until now, medical science has virtually ignored the vital importance of the muscular system as a major cause of acute and chronic pain and dysfunction.
Modern advances in prevention and treatment have eliminated or brought under control many of the severe illnesses which a generation ago afflicted people. Health professionals now have a greater opportunity to pay attention to the challenge of acute and chronic stress and strain of the musculoskeletal system.
