What Does a Physiotherapist do?
Physiotherapy helps in the physical rehabilitation, injury prevention, and provides treatment to restore, and maintain a patient’s mobility, function, and general well-being. True to the Atkins Health vision of providing proven, tailored success, our physiotherapists will be focused on pathways that involve the client’s steps to recovery.
A physiotherapist’s role in patient care can be varied depending on the condition and the treating team, with methods including but not limited to diagnosis, hands on therapy and exercise rehabilitation. They have a large scope of practice and what treatment they apply is often guided by the condition and its presentation. They are specialists in diagnosing and assessing physical conditions, injuries and concerns and how they affect the body’s movement and function. One of the key differences between physiotherapy and exercise physiology is that the former occupation includes study of pathology, leading to a physiotherapist being able to perform diagnosis of a condition. Therefore, it is not uncommon for a patient to see a physiotherapist for acute conditions, those that are sudden and severe in their onset and require diagnosis, and an exercise physiologist for chronic conditions, those that are ongoing for six months or more.
