What Does a Chartered Physiotherapist Do?
Chartered Physiotherapists are healthcare professionals who are experts in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries, diseases, and conditions that affect the musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory systems. They use a variety of techniques to correct and improve the body’s natural healing mechanisms, without the use of medication or drugs, except when prescribed by a doctor. Their ultimate aim is to help patients attain optimal physical function and quality of life.
A Chartered Physiotherapist can help with a variety of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, headache, knee pain, and others. They begin by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s condition, taking into account their medical history and current symptoms. Based on this, they design a personalised treatment plan that aims to meet the patient’s specific needs and goals.
Chartered Physiotherapists work with patients of all ages, using techniques such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, education, and advice on lifestyle and ergonomics to help patients recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and enhance their physical function. Through close monitoring of their progress and adjustment of treatment plans as needed, Chartered Physiotherapists assist patients in achieving their objectives and enhancing their overall health and wellbeing.
What Conditions Can Be Treated by a Physiotherapist?
Several conditions that affect the musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory systems can be treated with physiotherapy. Spinal problems such as back pain, sciatica, and stiff/painful neck; joint problems such as arthritis, injury, and pain/swelling/stiffness in joints like shoulders, hips, and ankles; and injuries to muscle, ligaments, cartilage, and tendons, including conditions such as Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), are among the conditions that can be treated by a physiotherapist.
In addition to the treatment of other conditions, physiotherapy can be useful for post-surgical rehabilitation, including rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery like hip and knee surgery, and general physiotherapy after general surgery. Furthermore, physiotherapy can help with fractures by speeding up the healing process and assisting in the regaining of full function once the bones have healed.

What To Expect from Your Physio Appointment
During a typical physiotherapy session, the patient will undergo an initial consultation that involves taking a detailed personal history and a history of the condition to be treated. A treatment plan will then be determined.
Treatment may involve:
- Manual Therapy
- Muscle imbalance and stability work
- Personal rehabilitation exercise programmes
- Soft tissue mobilisations
- Gait analysis
- Acupuncture
After the initial consultation, if additional sessions are necessary, we will discuss the details with you and provide an estimated timeframe for restoring your desired level of activity. With this information, you can decide how you would like to proceed.
