Physiotherapy Experts help people manage pain or injuries, treat long-term health conditions, and improve movement and mobility. Physiotherapists may work in a wide range of settings including private clinics, hospitals, schools, fitness clubs and community health centers. People can be referred to physiotherapy by doctors or other health and social care professionals or they can self-refer.
Generally, it is thought that professional expertise is developed through a process of specialization, which involves formal education and then specialized knowledge gained from clinical experience.5
Physiotherapy Experts: Dedicated to Your Healing at Rehab Lab
The Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP) is the professional, educational and trade union body for 50,000 chartered physiotherapists and physiotherapy students throughout the United Kingdom.
A CSP-registered physiotherapist will have undergone extensive training to be able to identify the underlying cause of your injury or musculoskeletal problem, rather than simply treating the symptoms. They will be able to use a variety of manual techniques, such as soft tissue mobilization and joint manipulations, to ease muscle tension and break up scar tissue to improve flexibility, reduce pain, enhance blood flow, and promote healing.
A Physiotherapy Specialist can help alleviate and heal injuries caused by exercise, sports, accidents, aging or lifestyle factors. They can also help manage a wide range of health problems including chronic pain, arthritis, back pain, neck and shoulder pain and respiratory diseases (such as asthma).
