They will listen carefully to how this is affecting you and what you have already tried. They will watch you move and touch the areas around where your problem is help to establish what is happening.

About Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function to as near normal as possible when someone is affected by injury, illness or by developmental or other disability.

The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy has further defined physiotherapy as “a healthcare profession with a science foundation.

The range of work is very broad and varied and involves working with people to promote their own health and well being.”

People are often referred for physiotherapy by doctors or other health and social care professionals.

Increasingly, as a result of changes in health care, people are referring themselves directly to physiotherapists without previously seeing any other health care professional.

Further information on anything ‘physiotherapy’ can be found at the CSP website (Chartered Society of Physiotherapy) www.csp.org.uk. If you would like to check if any physiotherapist is legitimate and registered please visit www.hcpc-uk.org.

“It uses physical approaches to promote, maintain and restore physical, psychological and social well-being, taking account of variations in health status. Physiotherapy is science-based, committed to extending, applying, evaluating and reviewing the evidence that underpins and informs its practice and delivery.The exercise of clinical judgement and informed interpretation is at its core.”
