What Does a Chartered Physiotherapist Do?
Chartered Physiotherapists are healthcare professionals who are experts in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries, diseases, and conditions that affect the musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory systems. They use a variety of techniques to correct and improve the body’s natural healing mechanisms, without the use of medication or drugs, except when prescribed by a doctor. Their ultimate aim is to help patients attain 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, 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.
Understanding the various conditions that physiotherapy can assist with can be advantageous in deciding whether it is a suitable treatment option for your specific requirements.

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

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.
