Physiotherapists work with people of all ages who have an injury or health condition that affects their movement and mobility. They make assessments and create treatment/management plans. They perform manual therapy, and provide exercises and stretching routines, along with other therapies, such as aqua therapy, to help improve strength, flexibility, function, and movement and prevent re-injury. Physiotherapists have completed a university degree in Physiotherapy, or a degree apprenticeship, and are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
