PHYSIOTHERAPY – SCOPE OF PRACTICE

Physiotherapists treat conditions related to the musculo-skeletal system, which generally means conditions related to bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, or nerves. These things often relate to how we move, and physiotherapists are in an ideal position to work with you to get to the bottom of your problem and wherever possible, prevent it reoccurring.

After a thorough assessment we will give you a diagnosis of the problem, and discuss the treatment required and what to expect. You are free to ask any questions, and we want you to be fully involved in your rehabilitation.

We may use a variety of treatment techniques such as manipulation, specific exercise prescription, massage, soft tissue techniques, acupuncture, and joint mobilisation.


In some cases, for example chest pain, where you are not sure of the origin, you should see your GP to exclude other conditions. If you are not sure, then please feel to ring for advice.
The list below gives you an idea of the sorts of conditions we can treat, but is not inclusive.
