Musculoskeletal therapy is a holistic manual therapy that is concerned with assessing and treating the various elements of the musculoskeletal system, utilising a number of techniques including joint mobilisation, tissue mobilisation, stretching and trigger point therapy; amongst others.

The musculoskeletal system is responsible for the form and support of the body, and enables us to have the ability to move while providing protection to our sensitive internal organs. It consists of our skeleton, muscles, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and joints – all of which work together to facilitate movement, balance and correct posture.

SCENAR was developed for the Russian space programme to overcome the unique problems of space travel by doctors and scientists in the late 1970s.
