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.
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?
Several conditions that affect the musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory systems can be treated with physiotherapy. 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), are among the conditions that can be treated by a physiotherapist.
Physiotherapy can also assist with post-surgical rehabilitation, including rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery like hip and knee surgery, and general physiotherapy after general surgery. Additionally, physiotherapy can help with fractures by increasing the healing rate and aiding in the regaining of full function once the bones have healed.

What To Expect from Your Physio Appointment
An initial consultation is typically part of a physiotherapy session, during which a detailed 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

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.
