Announcing - New experts and new fields of expertise.
Physiotherapy uses biomechanics, manual therapy, exercise therapy, and electrotherapy to treat physical impairments, and promote physical mobility and function.
The three different types of physiotherapy are:
- Musculoskeletal/orthopaedic – used in the treatment of problems such as sprains, strains, back pain, arthritis, posture problems, and sport or workplace injuries
- Neurological – used in the treatment of disorders such as stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury and multiple sclerosis.
- Cardiothoracic – used in the treatment of asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and other cardio-respiratory disorders.
Each patient’s treatment is designed to suit their specific needs and a physiotherapist may choose from different types of therapies such as:
- Manual therapies – includes joint manipulation and mobilisation, manual resistance training and stretching.
- Exercise programs – includes muscle strengthening, posture re-training, cardiovascular stretching and training.
- Electrotherapy techniques – includes Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), laser therapy, diathermy and ultrasound.

CostThe overall cost of expert opinion depends on the services required. Some of the key factors that affect the cost of advice include:
- The need for a view or inspection of a location
- The quantity of documentary material to be reviewed
- Whether there are reports of other experts to be reviewed and commented on in detail
- Whether there is a need for conferences with the expert either in person or by telephone/Skype
If you've ever had a sore back, neck or knee, there's a good chance you sought some kind of treatment for it - most likely from a physiotherapist, chiropractor or osteopath.
