Derriford Physiotherapy Department

What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function to as near normal as possible when someone is affected by injury, illness or by a developmental or other disability.

And as a healthcare profession, physiotherapy’s science foundation covers a broad and varied range of work which involves working with people to promote their own health and well being. (CSP website 2011).

The title Physiotherapist can only be used by those appropriately trained professionals who have registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC) and whose details are on the HPC website.
