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.
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, using a range of techniques such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, education and advice on lifestyle and ergonomics to help patients recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and improve their physical function. By working closely with patients, monitoring their progress and adjusting treatment plans as necessary, Chartered Physiotherapists help patients achieve their goals 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 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.
