Physiotherapy Services
The Physiotherapy Department provides a wide range of
therapeutic services and is committed to delivering the highest
standard of care whilst recognising and maintaining the patients’
dignity and individuality, in a safe caring environment. All our
patients benefit from being treated in one of our five individual
treatment rooms and we have a purpose built, fully equipped
gymnasium.
Our aim is to get you better and enable you to continue with all
the activities you enjoy. On your first visit you will be assessed,
diagnosed and a treatment plan will be formulated in conjunction
with you. The number of sessions you require will be discussed and
you will be given the right number for you and your problem, no
more, no less.
We have good communication with all the Berkshire Independent
Consultants and other Health Care Professionals at the Hospital. We
also have access to X-ray, scan and investigation results, where
appropriate.
