As a physiotherapist I help patients with physical difficulties resulting from illness, injury, disability or ageing to improve their movement. I devise and review treatment programmes using manual therapy (such as massage), therapeutic exercise and electrotherapy.
As well as treating patients, I also promote their health and wellbeing and provide advice on how to avoid injury and self-manage long-term conditions.
Patients can include children, the elderly, stroke patients and people with sports injuries.
