Physiotherapy in Group Rehabilitation

All patients will have a full assessment by a qualified physiotherapist upon referral to Group Rehabilitation.

Following this, a clinical diagnosis will be identified and used to form a treatment plan that is tailored to the individual patient and their specific needs and goals.

We offer a range of physiotherapy treatment pathways at Group Rehabilitation. Patients may attend individual one-to-one sessions or may be referred to Occupational Therapy if mobility or work issues are identified.

Other, more specific sessions, including for knee ligament reconstructions, and osteoarthritis of the knee, are also available depending on the patient’s individual needs. All patients, whether treated individually or in a group setting, will have a named physiotherapist that is responsible for their care.

Individual one-to-one sessions

Our Physiotherapy service will provide assessment and treatment of your musculoskeletal condition. Although a large proportion of our treatment is exercise based, treatment may also include manual therapy, soft tissue massage, and education regarding long term self-management of your condition.

Knee ligament reconstruction

A large proportion of our workload, and an area we specialise in, is the rehabilitation of patients who have had ligament reconstructive surgery. Our service has been designed in conjunction with orthopaedic surgeons to ensure that patients receive the best possible care after surgery. Information on rehabilitation programmes specific to each knee surgery is under the knee ligament reconstruction > section of our website.

Ankles

Most of our ankle referrals are from orthopaedic consultants after ankle fractures. We normally see patients when they are just taken out of plaster, and our aim is to rehabilitate them from walking with crutches, through to a return to work.

Our ankle patients can access the gym between 9.30am to 11am, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and are treated by both physiotherapists and occupational therapists. Physiotherapy techniques may include a home and gym exercise programme, and education regarding self-management of your condition.

We communicate verbally or in written format with the referrer, as appropriate, regarding patient progress, and maintain written records for all patients.
