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.
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?
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.
Knowledge of the various conditions that physiotherapy can help with can aid in determining whether it is a suitable treatment option for your particular needs.

What To Expect from Your Physio Appointment
An initial consultation is typically part of a physiotherapy session, during which a detailed personal and condition history is taken to develop a treatment plan.
Treatment may involve:
- Manual Therapy
- Muscle imbalance and stability work
- Personal rehabilitation exercise programmes
- Soft tissue mobilisations

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.
