Comprehensive patient care page

All patient care is subject to rigorous formal supervision by a consultant who chairs weekly multi-disciplinary patient assessment and discharge planning meetings.

• Physiotherapy The Chartered Physiotherapist team assess patients before employing a range of treatment programmes - from hands on techniques through to electrotherapy. They aim to improve joint movement, reduce pain and build muscle strength. In addition to enhancing the healing process the objective is to increase mobility and promote functional independence.
• Rehabilitation A bespoke personal exercise programme is developed that complements the active therapy and helps to ensue that goals set are achieved.
• Hydrotherapy Hydrotherapy is proven to be a safe and effective treatment in accelerating the rate of recovery. The pool, heated to a comfortable 35°C and complete with automated hoist to aid entry and exit, reduces gravity to one seventh when a patient is immersed, facilitating exercise techniques that provide both resistance and support.
• Occupational therapy The OT team will assess, identify and treat individual difficulties associated with daily living and be prominent in ensuring that a safe discharge to your home can be achieved. This may include an in-home assessment with recommendations on how to improve the physical environment.
