Chartered Physiotherapists

We use a variety of techniques to reduce pain and speed up the healing process. Our Chartered Physiotherapists are experts in assessing and treating musculo-skeletal pain and disorders.

We use a variety of techniques to reduce pain and speed up the healing process. We reduce stiffness, improve strength and restore pain free movement as quickly as possible. Whether you are rehabilitating following surgery, have developed pain through overuse, or have suffered an acute injury, Physiotherapy plays an important role.

Physiotherapy is a protected title

A Physiotherapist or Physio should only describe themselves as such if they have a degree in Physiotherapy, is a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and is registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council. This ensures standards of continuing professional development and professionalism. We are required to re-register every 2 years to prove we are meeting these professional standards.

Proactive Physical Health

All our Physios are working or have worked in the NHS for a substantial period of time.

We have all worked in a variety of settings including inpatient orthopaedics, stroke rehabilitation, cardio-respiratory Physiotherapy, ITU departments, surgical wards, paediatrics, before specialising in Musculo-skeletal (MSK) Physiotherapy. This gives us a broad level of knowledge of both MSK and non-MSK conditions. The experience of assessing and treating 1000’s of patients over years of clinical practice coupled with this knowledge is what makes an experienced Chartered Physiotherapist. We use this to make decisions on what we should and, as importantly, what we should not treat; when it is appropriate to refer patients on for further investigations or other specialists for further assessments.
