PHYSIOTHERAPY
The CSP description:
'Physiotherapy is a science-based profession 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.'
'Physiotherapy helps to restore movement and function & reduce pain when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability. It can also help to reduce your risk of injury or illness in the future.'

Why Physiotherapy?
ASSESSMENT
How can you treat a patient effectively without assessing them first?
Any physiotherapist will perform an assessment on their patients and an experienced physiotherapist starts their assessment the moment you walk in. Some non physiotherapy practitioners might advertise that they treat their customers holistically but any good physiotherapist does that as a matter of course. We want to know everything that's relevant to form not only a diagnosis but also they want to know about you.
