What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a science-based profession and takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing, which includes your general lifestyle.

At the core of effective physiotherapy, 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.

Physiotherapists help people affected by injury, illness or disability through a combination of movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice.

Chartered Physiotherapists use their knowledge and skills to improve a range of conditions associated with the body’s system including:

  • Neuromusculoskeletal (back pain, whiplash associated disorder, sports injuries, arthritis)
  • Neurological (stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s)
  • Cardiovascular (chronic heart disease, rehabilitation after heart attack)
  • Respiratory (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis)
