Physiotherapist

Physiotherapists are healthcare professionals who help people affected by injury, illness, or disability through movement, exercise, manual therapy, education, and advice. They work with patients of all ages to improve mobility, manage pain, and prevent further problems. Physiotherapists treat a wide range of conditions, including sports injuries, arthritis, stroke rehabilitation, and post-operative recovery. Most work within the NHS, but there are also opportunities in private clinics, sports clubs, and community settings. The role requires excellent communication skills, empathy, and a strong understanding of the human body. To become a physiotherapist in the UK, you need to complete an approved degree in physiotherapy and register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
