What do Physiotherapists do?

Physiotherapists not only aim to help to improve the quality of life of their patients through evidence-based treatment but they assist with long-term maintenance and pain management through self-help advice and exercise. Physiotherapists will teach the patient how they can look after themselves to become, and remain, independent.
 

Physiotherapy is a science-based profession studied at degree level 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. ‘Active’ physiotherapy treatment is only recommended once a full physiotherapy assessment has taken place, the appropriateness of treatment has been established and a comprehensive explanation has been discussed with the patient. Gaining the patients consent to receive treatment is critical and the option not to receive treatment is discussed should the patient wish to self-manage at home.
