What Does a Chartered Physiotherapist Do?
A Chartered Physiotherapist is a specialist healthcare professional who assesses, diagnoses, and treats injuries, diseases, and conditions that affect the musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory systems. They use various techniques to correct and enhance the body’s natural healing mechanisms, without the need for medication or drugs, except when prescribed by a doctor. Their ultimate goal is to help patients achieve optimal physical function and quality of life.
No matter what condition you are experiencing, whether it’s back pain, neck pain, a sports injury, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, headache, knee pain, or something else, a Chartered Physiotherapist can assist. They conduct a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition, taking into account their medical history and current symptoms, before devising a personalised treatment plan that targets 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?
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 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.

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.
