What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapists help people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice.
They maintain health for people of all ages, helping patients to manage pain and prevent disease (Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, 2013).
What is a Chartered Physiotherapist?
Our physiotherapists have undergone extensive training and regular professional development in order to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions through a detailed assessment process. The title ‘Chartered Physiotherapist’ is protected by law and can only be used by those who have achieved a high level of academic training at degree level (Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, 2013).
What do Physiotherapists Do?
Physiotherapy is a science-based profession and takes a 'whole person' approach to health and wellbeing, which includes the patient's general lifestyle.
At the core is the patient's involvement in their own care, through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in their treatment.
You can benefit from physiotherapy at any time in your life. Physiotherapy helps with back pain or sudden injury, managing long-term medical conditions and in preparation for childbirth or sporting events (Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, 2013).
