Physiotherapists help patients with physical difficulties resulting from illness, injury, disability or ageing to restore and maximise their movement and reduce the risk of further problems arising in the future
As a physiotherapist you’ll meet with patients to assess their physical problem/disorder. Having made a diagnosis, you’ll then design and review appropriate treatment programmes using a range of techniques, including manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and electrotherapy.
As well as treating patients, you’ll also promote their health and wellbeing, and provide education and advice on how to avoid injury and self-manage long-term conditions.
Patients can include children, the elderly, people with sports injuries, intensive care patients who require chest physiotherapy and stroke patients.
