Hii Richardson,

Hope you are doing good.

You should be knowing that a physiotherapist helps us through their therapies for joint pain, muscle pain, and other therapy related ailments. They can only prescribe medication when working with the written authority of a doctor. A Department of Health consultation exercise envisages them being able to prescribe medication for pain relief and conditions such as asthma and no other common ailments.

I hope this was helpful for you.

Best wishes.

Take care.
