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.
Regardless of whether you are experiencing back pain, neck pain, a sports injury, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, headache, knee pain, or any other condition, a Chartered Physiotherapist can assist you. They commence by conducting a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition, taking into account their medical history and current symptoms, and then create a customised treatment plan that addresses the patient’s specific needs and objectives.
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?
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).
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.
