What does a physiotherapist do?
Physiotherapists are highly trained healthcare professionals who specialise in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of physical problems caused by illness, injury, or lifestyle factors, including being overweight or obese. They use a combination of exercise, education, and advice to help patients restore movement, improve function, and reduce pain. If you’re looking to lose weight, physiotherapists can create personalised exercise plans that safely increase your physical activity, improve your fitness levels, and support sustainable weight loss.
Should you see a physiotherapist in York?
We often get asked ’Who is the best person to give exercise and movement advice?’ The answer is a registered physiotherapist. Here’s why physiotherapists are well-suited to help with weight loss and physical health:
- Qualifications and regulation. Physiotherapists are regulated healthcare professionals registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) in the UK, ensuring they meet strict standards for education and professional practice.
- Scope of practice. Physiotherapists are trained to create exercise plans to manage health conditions like obesity, joint pain, and mobility issues. They can provide targeted support for weight loss and overall physical health improvement.
- Clinical experience. Physiotherapists often work in clinical settings like hospitals and GP practices, where they provide physical therapy to patients based on their medical needs. This experience is valuable when creating safe and effective exercise plans for weight loss.
At York Weight Loss Clinic, we offer same-day appointments with registered physiotherapists. You can learn more about our online York physiotherapist service, as well as our weight loss injections and pills.
