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.
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.
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?
A physiotherapist can help treat a variety of conditions that affect the musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory systems. Examples 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 is also beneficial for post-surgical rehabilitation, including rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery such as hip and knee surgery, as well as general physiotherapy after general surgery. Additionally, physiotherapy can assist with fractures by accelerating the healing rate and helping to regain 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.

Treatment may involve:

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.
