mental health
neurology (including stroke)
long-term conditions
breathing problems
men's and women's health (including incontinence)
recovery after major surgery
orthopaedics and trauma
sports
workplace health
paediatrics (children)
care of the elderly
education and health promotion

musculoskeletal – bones, joints and soft tissues
neuromuscular – the brain and nervous system
cardiovascular – the heart and blood circulation
respiratory – the organs that help you breathe, such as the windpipe (trachea), voicebox (larynx) and lungs

movement and exercise – taking into account a person’s current level of health and their specific requirements
manual therapy techniques – where the physiotherapist helps recovery by using their hands to relieve muscle pain and stiffness, and encourage blood flow to an injured part of the body
aquatic therapy – a type of physiotherapy carried out in water
other techniques – such as heat, cold and acupuncture to help ease pain
