​Physiotherapy

What we do

Physiotherapy is beneficial for people of all ages to restore physical movement, function and self-confidence after someone has been affected by injury, illness or disability.

Physiotherapy can also help to reduce your risk of injury or illness in the future.

Physiotherapy can help problems affecting:

• bones, joints and soft tissue – such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and sports injuries
• brain & nervous system – such as movement difficulties resulting from a stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS) or Parkinson's disease
• heart & circulation – such as rehabilitation after a heart attack
• lungs & breathing – such as chest infection, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis
• urinary & bowel problems – such as after surgery or continence problems.

Inpatient physiotherapy:

Physiotherapy is provided on all hospital wards and in A&E at Warwick, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Leamington & Ellen Badger Hospitals to help patients recover physically after injury, illness or surgery and encourage you to maintain or improve your functional ability.

Nursing or medical staff refer patients to the ward Physiotherapy Team and the therapist assesses and treats as necessary. Outpatient physiotherapy:
