Physiotherapy

Supporting your recovery, every step of the way

Whether you are recovering from surgery or attending an appointment for an injury or ongoing condition, our physiotherapy team can help you move with greater confidence.

 

Our inpatient and outpatient services support different stages of your care, with rehabilitation tailored to your needs, your treatment and the activities you want to return to.

Supporting your recovery, every step of the way

Your recovery journey

Understanding your needs

Your physiotherapist will discuss your symptoms, treatment, daily activities and goals. After surgery, your assessment will also take account of your consultant’s rehabilitation instructions.

Building your plan

Together, you will agree appropriate exercises and goals for your recovery, with clear guidance on what you can do and any precautions you need to follow.

Preparing for your next step

If you are in hospital, the focus will be on moving safely and understanding what to do at home. At outpatient appointments, your physiotherapist will review your progress and adapt your plan.

Returning to what matters to you

Your rehabilitation will progress according to your recovery, helping you build confidence in the activities that matter most to you.

  • Showing you how to use crutches or other walking aids
  • Explaining how to wear and manage a prescribed boot, brace or sling
  • Introducing appropriate exercises

Outpatient physiotherapy: support beyond your hospital stay

Outpatient physiotherapy: support beyond your hospital stay

Outpatient physiotherapy takes place at appointments without an overnight hospital stay. It may support your recovery after surgery or help you manage an injury or condition that does not require an operation.

 

Your physiotherapist will assess your movement, strength and day-to-day difficulties, then agree a treatment plan with you. This may include exercises, practical advice and other treatment where appropriate.

 

As you progress, your rehabilitation can focus on returning to everyday activities, work, exercise or sport.
