What We Treat

Physiotherapy Unit Services

The Physiotherapy Unit is one of the UK’s leading physio centres and provides a comprehensive range of services for patients. Common conditions treated are listed below.

Back Pain

Back pain is a common condition and the leading cause of work absence in the UK. It is often not possible to identify the cause but back pain can occur anywhere down the spine from neck to hips.

Physiotherapy can be employed effectively to swiftly relieve the pain and restore function to affected areas.

Treatments can include manual therapy to manipulate the spine and massage to relief muscle tension while some patients can be directed to group exercise classes and a programme of stretches and exercises.

Skilled physiotherapists provide guidance on how to stay pain free and prevent further back pain.

Neuro Rehabilitation

Physical and occupational physiotherapy is effective advice across a range of neurological conditions and injuries such as stroke (or mini stroke), multiple sclerosis, brain injury and tumors, degenerative illness such as Parkinson’s disease, falls and damage to the nervous system.

Respiratory Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy for respiratory conditions is a specialized discipline that treats disorders such as chronic bronchitis, asthma, emphysema, cystic fibrosis and a wide range of lung and breathing problems.

Women’s Health Physiotherapy

Millions of women can experience a range of difficulties and discomfort because of obstetric issues but physiotherapy can play a key role in reducing the impact and restoring normal function.

Post Operative Physiotherapy

Recovering from an operation that has affected mobility needs to be well-structured and individually tailored to ensure the best outcome.
