What Does a Chartered Physiotherapist Do?
A Chartered Physiotherapist is a healthcare professional who specialises in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries, diseases, and conditions that affect the musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory systems. They use a range of techniques to correct and improve the body’s natural healing mechanisms, without the need for medication or drugs, unless prescribed by a doctor. Their ultimate goal is to help patients achieve optimal physical function and quality of life.
No matter what condition you are experiencing, whether it’s back pain, neck pain, a sports injury, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, headache, knee pain, or something else, a Chartered Physiotherapist can assist. They conduct a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition, taking into account their medical history and current symptoms, before devising a personalised treatment plan that targets the patient’s specific needs and goals.
Regardless of age, Chartered Physiotherapists use a variety of techniques, such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, education, and lifestyle and ergonomics advice, to assist patients in recovering from injuries, managing chronic pain, and improving their physical function. By closely monitoring patients’ progress and adjusting their treatment plans as necessary, Chartered Physiotherapists aid patients in reaching their goals and enhancing their overall health and wellbeing.
What Conditions Can Be Treated by a Physiotherapist?
Physiotherapy can help treat a variety of conditions that affect the musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory systems. Some of the conditions that can be treated by a physiotherapist include 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 like Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI).
Physiotherapy can also assist with post-surgical rehabilitation, including rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery like hip and knee surgery, and general physiotherapy after general surgery. Additionally, physiotherapy can help with fractures by increasing the healing rate and aiding in the regaining of full function once the bones have healed.
