This is a common question that’s asked of many physios up and down the UK. Can physio help me or diagnose my problem?
Physiotherapists are autonomous clinicians and are expertly trained in the assessment and diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries (while working within an MSK clinic). We undergo extensive training at university and a degree is 100% required along with HCPC registration in order to practice within the UK.
Physiotherapy is a protected title just like being a registered nurse or a doctor is also.
In short yes a physiotherapist is likely the most able to help you if you have any aches, pains or injuries. We are able to diagnose and recognise problems and give the correct treatment in order to help you solve the problem and help prevent a recurrence.
If you have any aches, pains or injuries that just won’t go away get in contact with me and I’ll help you take control of your own health.
