We provide assessment and treatment for musculoskeletal and neurological conditions to people of any age who may benefit from physiotherapy intervention.
This usually involves a comprehensive assessment and development of an individual treatment plan in consultation with the patient.
Most treatment plans involve education, self-management strategies and specific exercise programmes, as well as other physiotherapy techniques.
Our Occupational Therapy Team asses people’s ability to carry out their usual daily activities with the aim of helping people stay as independent as possible, and safe within their own homes.
Our services include home modifications, equipment prescription, and education about falls prevention, energy conservation, and pressure injury prevention and management.
