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.
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?
A physiotherapist can help treat a variety of conditions that affect the musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory systems. Examples 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 aid in post-surgical rehabilitation, including rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery such as hip and knee surgery, as well as 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 after the bones have healed.

Treatment may involve:
- Manual Therapy
- Muscle imbalance and stability work
- Personal rehabilitation exercise programmes
- Soft tissue mobilisations
- Gait analysis
- Acupuncture
If additional sessions are deemed necessary during the initial consultation, we will provide you with the details, an estimated recovery time, and allow you to decide how to proceed.
