Medical Journal

Musculoskeletal Consumer Review or MCR is Core Concepts’s on-line journal. Musculoskeletal conditions for the layman can often be confusing with a myriad of answers and explanations. Answers found on the internet tend to swing between being too simplistic but easy to understand or accurate but difficult to digest. MCR aims to bridge this gap. MCR also published hard-copies of selected articles for GP and Specialists clinics.

Core Concept’s therapists are often sought for their view by the local media on various topics and condition. For a selection of media coverage, see here.
