Assessment and Diagnosis

• Conduct patient evaluations to assess the physical condition, strength, flexibility, posture, and overall movement.
• Identify the root cause of physical issues, whether related to injury, illness, or age-related conditions.
• Take patient history to understand past injuries, treatments, and lifestyle factors affecting health.

Treatment Planning

• Set short-term and long-term goals with patients and adjust treatment plans as needed.
• Educate patients on their conditions and discuss treatment options.

Therapeutic Techniques

• Use various modalities like heat, cold, ultrasound, electrotherapy, and manual therapy to reduce pain, improve circulation, and aid healing.
• Guide patients through rehabilitation exercises following surgery or injury to restore function.

Pain Management

• Manage acute and chronic pain through therapeutic techniques, posture correction, and modalities like TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) or other treatments.
• Educate patients on techniques to manage pain on their own, including posture correction and ergonomic changes in daily routines.

Patient Education

• Teach patients about proper body mechanics to prevent injury (e.g., lifting techniques, posture, and ergonomic workstation setups).
• Provide advice on lifestyle changes such as physical activity levels, nutrition, and weight management to enhance recovery.
• Instruct on the use of assistive devices, such as crutches, walkers, or braces.

Rehabilitation

• Supervise and monitor progress during rehabilitation, adjusting treatment plans as needed to ensure effective recovery.
• Rebuild strength, coordination, and endurance in patients recovering from surgery, injury, or illness.

Collaboration

• Work with other healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, and surgeons to ensure a holistic approach to patient care.
• Refer patients to specialists for additional care if required, such as orthopedic surgeons or pain specialists.

Documentation and Reporting

• Maintain detailed patient records of assessments, progress, and treatment interventions.
• Document treatment outcomes and report any changes or progress to the healthcare team or insurance companies if required.

Prevention and Wellness

• Offer preventative care to clients at risk of developing injuries due to sports, occupation, or age-related factors.
• Encourage physical activity and healthy habits to prevent injuries or physical impairments in the future.

Continual Learning and Professional Development

• Stay current with advances in treatment techniques, technology, and research in physiotherapy.
• Attend training, workshops, and conferences to maintain professional licenses and certifications.

Additional Skills

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills to build rapport with patients and encourage compliance with treatment plans.
• Good manual dexterity and problem-solving skills to adjust treatment techniques as needed.
