Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation - Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists work in a wide variety of health settings including hospitals, health centres, private clinics, occupational health and intensive care units. The profession is primarily concerned with human physical function and movement and maximising its potential. Visit www.csp.org.uk for further information on physiotherapy.
You can arrange to see a physiotherapist professionally either as a referral on the NHS from your doctor, as a private referral or by making an appointment directly with one of the many independent physiotherapists who operate out of their own premises. You should always make sure they are Chartered and Registered.
There is a strong overlap between physiotherapy and complementary health and there is a growing interest among people looking for a holistic approach to the treatment of illness and disease. Physiotherapists like to look at the “whole” person and take into account medical history, work and lifestyles to help them make accurate and appropriate diagnosis of conditions and before preparing a treatment plan.
