What Does a Chartered Physiotherapist Do?
Chartered Physiotherapists are healthcare professionals who specialise in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating injuries, diseases, and conditions that affect the musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory systems. They utilise a range of techniques to improve and correct the body’s natural healing mechanisms, without the need for medication or drugs, unless prescribed by a doctor. Their primary objective is to assist patients in achieving optimal physical function and quality of life.
If you are suffering from back pain, neck pain, a sports injury, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, headache, knee pain, or any other condition, a Chartered Physiotherapist can help. They commence by performing a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s condition, taking into account their medical history and current symptoms. Based on this, they create a personalised treatment plan that aims to address 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.
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.
Understanding the various conditions that physiotherapy can assist with can be valuable in deciding whether it is the right treatment option for your specific requirements.

What To Expect from Your Physio Appointment
An initial consultation is typically part of a physiotherapy session, during which a detailed personal and condition history is taken to develop a treatment plan.
Treatment may involve:
- Manual Therapy
- Muscle imbalance and stability work
- Personal rehabilitation exercise programmes

During the initial consultation, if it is determined that further sessions are required, we will discuss the details with you, provide an estimated timeframe for recovery, and allow you to decide how to proceed.
