Physiotherapy assesses, diagnoses, treats and works to prevent, disease and disability using physical means. It aims to help restore movement and function and reduce pain and stiffness in disorders that were present from birth, acquired through an accident or injury, or are the result of ageing or life-changing events. Physiotherapy can improve your physical activity while helping you to prevent further injuries.

Physiotherapy offers a holistic approach to assessing, preventing, and treating problems, as well as helping to reduce the recurrence of problems in the future.
Woodland Hospital’s physiotherapy department offers a range of treatments in both an outpatient and inpatient setting, whilst providing patients with comprehensive educational and self-help programmes to help them manage their condition independently once they are discharged.

Our physiotherapy department is situated in purpose-built facilities at Schofield House and offers high quality, professional care in a safe and supportive setting. With minimal waiting times, our patients enjoy the use of three private treatment rooms; a wide range of physiotherapy equipment; easy access to the X-Ray department; and an air-conditioned gym. Consultants are also on hand to offer further medical advice.
Your initial assessment will take between 30 - 60 minutes, depending on the area being assessed. During the examination, your physiotherapist will ask you questions about your condition and work with you to develop an effective treatment plan that takes into account of your life-style, leisure activities and general health.
We recommend wearing loose fitting clothes for your appointment to allow your physiotherapist to examine you properly.
If you have a follow-up appointment with your consultant during the course of your physiotherapy, the physiotherapist will write a report of your progress to the consultant. So that we can communicate effectively with your doctor, please let your physiotherapist know about any consultant appointments you may have. Once your treatment is completed, the physiotherapist will write to the referring clinician, e.g. GP or consultant, to summarise the treatment and the outcomes.
