My research goal is to fill knowledge gaps on optimal rehabilitation to patients with musculoskeletal illnesses and thus improve health and quality of life among these individuals. My research will support the development, piloting and testing of treatments for common and costly musculoskeletal problems in primary and secondary care, including hip, knee and shoulder pain. I aim to develop and test the clinical and cost-effectiveness of different treatments, including identification of hip problems in young patients, support for patients of working age and approaches with focus on strengthening weak joints.
