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.
Whether you’re experiencing back pain, neck pain, a sports injury, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, headache, knee pain, or any other condition, a Chartered Physiotherapist can help. They begin by carrying out a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition, taking into account their medical history and current symptoms. From this, they develop a personalised treatment plan that aims to address 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?
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.
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.
Understanding the various conditions that physiotherapy can help with can be beneficial in determining whether it is a suitable treatment option for your specific needs.

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

During the initial consultation, if it is determined that further sessions are required, we will discuss the details with you, provide an estimated timeframe for recovery, and allow you to decide how to proceed.
