How can physiotherapy help?
Physiotherapists treat people of all ages with physical problems
caused by illness, accident or ageing. Physiotherapy is a
healthcare profession which sees human movement as central to the
health and well-being of individuals.
Physiotherapists identify and maximise movement potential
through health promotion, preventive healthcare, treatment and
rehabilitation. The core skills used by physiotherapists include
manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and the application of
electro-physical modalities. Physiotherapists also have an
appreciation of psychological, cultural and social factors which
influence their clients.
Treating sports injuries with physiotherapy
Any injury to the body can be a nuisance, but even more so if
you are involved in sport. It is important to obtain immediate
advice and effective treatment following injury as a delay could
lengthen your recovery time. At Rowley hospital we are able to
offer access to Chartered Physiotherapists within 1 working day,
who will assess your injury, begin appropriate treatment and guide
your rehabilitation, to enable you to return to your sport as soon
as possible.
The department is open:
Monday 8.30am-5.30pm
Tuesday 8.30am-8pm
Wednesday 8.30am-5.30pm
Thursday 8.30am-8pm
Friday 8.30am-5pm
The Physiotherapy department accepts referral from both GPs and
Consultants. You may also self-refer for treatment. In this
situation the Physiotherapist will report any findings and outcome
at the end of your treatment back to your GP.
