Physiotherapist

Physiotherapists are healthcare professionals who help people recover from injuries, illnesses, or disabilities through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education, and advice. They work with patients of all ages to improve physical wellbeing and prevent further injury. Physiotherapists often collaborate with doctors, nurses, and other specialists to create treatment plans tailored to each individual. In the UK, physiotherapists may work in NHS hospitals, community clinics, care homes, private practices, or with sports teams. The role involves assessing patients, setting treatment goals, and monitoring progress. To become a physiotherapist in the UK, you need a degree in physiotherapy approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). It is a rewarding career for those interested in science, health, and helping others regain their independence.
