Musculoskeletal health

Information and resources on musculoskeletal health conditions.

Musculoskeletal health (MSK) conditions impact millions of people in the UK, and are associated with a large number of co-morbidities including depression and obesity.

The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) helps to maintain and improve the musculoskeletal health of the population through the MSK health programme, which is designed to support people to live with good MSK health and freedom from pain and disability.

For more information, see the musculoskeletal conditions profile on Fingertips.
