What Does a Chartered Physiotherapist Do?
A Chartered Physiotherapist is a healthcare professional who specialises 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 requirement for medication or drugs, except when prescribed by a doctor. Their primary objective is to assist patients in achieving 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.
Using a range of techniques such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, education, and advice on lifestyle and ergonomics, Chartered Physiotherapists work with patients of all ages to help them recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and improve their physical function. Through close monitoring of their progress and adjustment of their treatment plans as needed, Chartered Physiotherapists help patients achieve their goals and enhance their overall health and wellbeing.
What Conditions Can Be Treated by a Physiotherapist?
Physiotherapy can aid in the treatment of various conditions that impact the musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory systems. Some of the conditions that a physiotherapist can treat 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 such as Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI).
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.
Having knowledge about the different conditions that physiotherapy can aid with can be helpful in determining whether it is an appropriate treatment choice for your specific needs.
