Personal Programme

Physiotherapists are experts in movement and function. They work in partnership with patients, assisting them to overcome physical disorders, which may have arisen from either a road traffic accident, an underlying medical condition, spinal problems, arthritis, a developmental disability, sports injuries or simply the stress of our busy lives.

At your initial visit, one of our physiotherapists will discuss the pattern and history of your symptoms with you, perform a physical assessment and then use their clinical knowledge and problem-solving skills to formulate a specific treatment programme. Book an appointment at your local clinic.

You may benefit from physiotherapy at any time in your life

People of all ages and activity levels can benefit from physiotherapy to help improve their quality of life and prevent future problems.

Many people first encounter a physiotherapist after being referred for physiotherapy post-operatively following orthopaedic surgery.

Physiotherapists have to be registered with The Health and Care Professions Council. This is a regulatory body and ensures anyone using the title “Physiotherapist” is qualified to do so and takes part in continued development to maintain their skill and expertise, retaining their fitness to practise. All our Physiotherapists are HCPC Registered.

For further information on Physiotherapy and how it may help you or to book an appointment, please call or email one of our clinics and we will be happy to help.
