What Does a Chartered Physiotherapist Do?
Chartered Physiotherapists are healthcare professionals who specialise 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 need for medication or drugs, unless 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, using techniques such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, education, and advice on lifestyle and ergonomics to help patients recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and enhance their physical function. Through close monitoring of their progress and adjustment of treatment plans as needed, Chartered Physiotherapists assist patients in achieving their objectives and enhancing their overall health and wellbeing.
What Conditions Can Be Treated by a Physiotherapist?
Physiotherapy can help treat a variety 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).
Physiotherapy can also help with post-surgical rehabilitation, including rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery like hip and knee surgery, and general physiotherapy after general surgery. Additionally, physiotherapy can aid with fractures by increasing the healing rate and assisting in the regaining of full function once the bones have healed.

What To Expect from Your Physio Appointment
A typical physiotherapy session includes an initial consultation, in which a thorough 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
- Gait analysis

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.
