How does Physiotherapy differ from the “alternative” forms of healing?
The methods used by “alternative” therapies differ widely, but most of the theories and principles which govern them are included as standard practice in Chartered Physiotherapy, which is the “orthodox alternative”. Physiotherapy is a medically recognised treatment with physiotherapists working closely with GPs and Consultants. Many physiotherapists have developed additional skills in areas such as acupuncture, reflex therapy, aqua-aerobic fitness programmes, Alexander technique, aromatherapy, cranio-sacral therapy and Shiatsu.
