What Does a Chartered Physiotherapist Do?
A Chartered Physiotherapist is a healthcare professional who specialises 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 requirement for medication or drugs, except when 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.
Regardless of age, Chartered Physiotherapists use a variety of techniques, such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, education, and lifestyle and ergonomics advice, to assist patients in recovering from injuries, managing chronic pain, and improving their physical function. By closely monitoring patients’ progress and adjusting their treatment plans as necessary, Chartered Physiotherapists aid patients in reaching their goals and enhancing their overall health and wellbeing.
What Conditions Can Be Treated by a Physiotherapist?
Physiotherapy can assist in treating a range 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 help with post-surgical rehabilitation, including rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery like hip and knee surgery, and general physiotherapy after general surgery. Additionally, physiotherapy can aid with fractures by increasing the healing rate and assisting in the regaining of full function once the bones have healed.
Having knowledge about the different conditions that physiotherapy can aid with can be helpful in determining whether it is an appropriate treatment choice for your specific needs.
