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.
Regardless of whether you are experiencing back pain, neck pain, a sports injury, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, headache, knee pain, or any other condition, a Chartered Physiotherapist can assist you. They commence by conducting a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition, taking into account their medical history and current symptoms, and then create a customised treatment plan that addresses the patient’s specific needs and objectives.
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?
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 is also beneficial for post-surgical rehabilitation, including rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery such as hip and knee surgery, as well as general physiotherapy after general surgery. Additionally, physiotherapy can assist with fractures by accelerating the healing rate and helping to regain full function once the bones have healed.
Understanding the various conditions that physiotherapy can assist with can be advantageous in deciding whether it is a suitable treatment option for your specific requirements.

What To Expect from Your Physio Appointment
In a typical physiotherapy session, a detailed personal and condition history is taken during an initial consultation to develop a treatment plan.
Treatment may involve:
- Manual Therapy
- Muscle imbalance and stability work
- Personal rehabilitation exercise programmes
- Soft tissue mobilisations
- Gait analysis
- Acupuncture
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.
