Physical therapies and exercises significantly improve the recovery of musculoskeletal conditions and greatly reduces the pains. Considering in the United States, the costs attributed to MSK pains have increased from 580.9 billion dollars in 2011 to more than trillion dollars over the last decade. And the burden of MSK issues on healthcare is on the rise with the advent of ‘work from home’ and lockdowns around the country.

The increasing screen time with very less or perhaps no physical activity is resulting in chronic musculoskeletal conditions among the people. The CEO of ‘The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy’, Karen Middleton, highlighted the magnitude of the situation by stating that the increasing musculoskeletal issues are unsurprising consequences of the pandemic as “months of working from home and reduced activity levels will have had a serious deconditioning effect on millions of people.” Nonetheless, following therapeutic exercises can significantly improve chronic MSK pains and enable self-care among the patients.
