We help with problems related to pain, stiffness, weakness, movement and walking, supporting you to manage your condition, build strength, prevent future injury and stay independent.
We commonly support with pain in the neck, back, shoulder, elbow/arm, hip, knee and foot, through a number of different areas of support.
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapists aim is to help restore movement and function.
You can be referred into this service by a number of healthcare professionals. You may have a telephone consultation first so we can decide the best plan for you.
- A physiotherapist will ask about your symptoms and how they affect daily life.
- You'll agree your treatment plan together.
- A physical examination may be included.
What to bring:
- A list of your current medicines.
- Clothing that lets us assess the area (e.g. shorts for hip/knee/back, vest for neck/shoulder/arm).
Biomechanics
We assess and treat problems with feet, ankles, knees, hips, lower back and gait.
We prescribe and fit orthoses (insoles) — from simple to custom-made using our specialist design and manufacturing system.
We can provide cast therapy if needed (night‑time or rest splints).
We usually offer a one‑stop service, meaning assessment and fitting of orthoses in the same visit. The only exception is if you need a complex, casted device, which takes longer to make.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists help you manage everyday activities if you have MSK or rheumatology‑related difficulties. This includes supporting hand and upper‑limb problems that affect daily tasks, by teaching new ways of doing activities, adapting equipment, and supporting independence.
You can be referred by a number of other healthcare professionals.
