The Physiotherapy Studio

What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a clinical health science and profession that aims to rehabilitate and improve a person’s ability to move and function, helping to reach their full potential.

Physiotherapists use their expertise in anatomy and physiology to assess and treat people with a variety of health conditions, such as low back and neck pain, headaches and muscle sprains. 

Physiotherapy can help repair damage by speeding up the healing process, reduce pain and stiffness, and increase mobility.

A physiotherapist can also help you prevent further injury and work with you to plan the most appropriate treatment for your condition, including setting goals and treatment outcomes.

They work in partnership with their patients to educate them on how to manage their own health.

Physiotherapists use objective assessments to develop an evidence based treatment programme tailored to individual clients. Treatment may include soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation and exercise prescription.

 A doctor’s referral is not necessary to see a physiotherapist. 

However physiotherapists, doctors and other health professionals will often work as part of a team to plan and manage treatment for a specific condition.
