This ensures that the service that is provided is current and uses the best evidence based practice that is available; we aim to support you to return to your work, sporting and leisure activities as soon as is possible.

The department provides a professional, friendly and individualistic service, ensuring that your needs are at the centre of your therapy. This is achieved by you being assessed and treated by the same physiotherapist throughout your treatment sessions. We can offer early morning and late evening appointments where possible.

The physiotherapy department has 4 cubicles for outpatients appointments, one of which is a premium care room, that is a contained clinic room with a lockable door. This allows privacy and dignity to be kept when more intimate therapy is given such as the assessment and treatment of women’s health conditions.
