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.
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.
Chartered Physiotherapists work with patients of all ages, using a range of techniques such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, education and advice on lifestyle and ergonomics to help patients recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and improve their physical function. By working closely with patients, monitoring their progress and adjusting treatment plans as necessary, Chartered Physiotherapists help patients achieve their goals and improve 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.
