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.
If you are suffering from back pain, neck pain, a sports injury, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, headache, knee pain, or any other condition, a Chartered Physiotherapist can help. They commence by performing a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s condition, taking into account their medical history and current symptoms. Based on this, they create 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 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.

What To Expect from Your Physio Appointment
In a typical physiotherapy session, a detailed personal and condition history is taken during an initial consultation to develop a treatment plan.
Treatment may involve:
- Manual Therapy
- Muscle imbalance and stability work
- Personal rehabilitation exercise programmes
- Soft tissue mobilisations
- Gait analysis
- Acupuncture
Once the initial consultation is completed, if additional sessions are needed, we will discuss the details with you and provide an estimate of the time required to return to your desired level of activity. You can then decide how you want to proceed.
