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.
Regardless of whether you are experiencing back pain, neck pain, a sports injury, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, headache, knee pain, or any other condition, a Chartered Physiotherapist can assist you. They commence by conducting a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition, taking into account their medical history and current symptoms, and then create a customised treatment plan that addresses the patient’s specific needs and objectives.
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?
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).
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.
