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.
Whether you’re experiencing back pain, neck pain, a sports injury, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, headache, knee pain, or any other condition, a Chartered Physiotherapist can help. They begin by carrying out a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition, taking into account their medical history and current symptoms. From this, they develop a personalised treatment plan that aims to address the patient’s specific needs and goals.
Chartered Physiotherapists work with patients of all ages, employing techniques such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, education, and advice on lifestyle and ergonomics to aid patients in recovering from injuries, managing chronic pain, and improving their physical function. Through continuous monitoring of patients’ progress and adjustments to their treatment plans as required, Chartered Physiotherapists help patients achieve their objectives and improve their overall health and wellbeing.
What Conditions Can Be Treated by a Physiotherapist?
Physiotherapy can assist in treating a range 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).
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.
