LIFT Physiotherapy Partners with Consultant Mr Aslam to Enhance GP Training in Musculoskeletal Assessments

LIFT Physiotherapy further strengthen links with orthopaedic surgeon Mr Nadim Aslam to help deliver musculoskeletal training to local GPs

LIFT Physiotherapy recently had the privilege of joining Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon Mr Aslam from the Worcestershire Knee and Hip Clinic to deliver a GP training event focused on musculoskeletal (MSK) assessments.

The evening aimed to help local GPs improve confidence and clinical skills when assessing common knee and hip conditions — ensuring faster, more effective patient pathways and better outcomes.

Knee Injuries and ACL Rehabilitation

Our team from LIFT Physiotherapy led a session on knee injuries, with a particular focus on ACL rehabilitation. We shared insights into evidence-based rehab progressions, return-to-sport testing, and how our clinic’s individualised approach supports full recovery following both surgical and non-surgical management.

Practical Hip Assessment Station

Attendees had the opportunity to take part in a hands-on hip assessment station, where we discussed key movement tests, red flags, and differential diagnosis for common hip presentations. This interactive format allowed GPs to refine their clinical reasoning and improve diagnostic accuracy.

Practical Knee Assessment Station

The knee assessment station offered practical demonstrations of ligament, meniscal, and functional tests, enabling participants to build confidence in early-stage assessment and management decisions for knee injuries seen in primary care.

Strengthening Relations with Worcestershire Knee and Hip Clinic

We’d like to extend a big thank you to the Worcestershire Knee and Hip Clinic, Mr Aslam and Katie for the invitation and continued collaboration. At LIFT Physiotherapy, we’re passionate about bridging the gap between primary care and specialist rehabilitation — empowering clinicians to deliver the best MSK care possible.
