Musculoskeletal conditions may occur with or without concurrent chronic conditions, which may affect the effectiveness of physiotherapy management.

Hence, the purpose of this review was to summarize the management of musculoskeletal disorders and the impact of chronic conditions on their treatment outcome.</p>
