Frequently Asked Questions
How many treatments will I need? This usually depends on factors such as how long the problem has been present, the severity of the condition and also the requirements of the patient. For example, a person wishing to get back to training for a specific sport or event may require a longer course of treatment for a knee injury than a sedentary office-worker. A fairly standard course of physiotherapy would be 4-6 treatment sessions but this can vary considerably. A person seeking advice on what they should and shouldn,t be doing in relation to their condition or problem might just attend for 1-2 sessions to be shown some specific exercises and receive some general management advice for their condition. Similarly an individual with a relatively minor injury might just need a few treatments to assess their condition and alleviate their symptoms. At the other end of the scale, a patient receiving treatment post-operatively or for a condition that has been present for some time may require treatment over a longer period to see them through to full rehabilitation. What is a Chartered Physiotherapist? The physiotherapists at Poulton Physiotherapy Clinic are Chartered and are also registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC). A Chartered Physiotherapist is a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) which is the professional organisation of the profession. This means that the physiotherapist has undergone an approved course of training (usually a 3-4 year degree course), is governed by a professional code of practice and is also fully insured to provide treatment services within their scope of practice. The HPC is a statutory regulator that works to protect the health and well-being of people using the services of the health professionals registered with it. They only register professionals who meet their standards for their professional skills, behaviour and health. What should I bring with me on my initial appointment?
