Physiotherapy

All physiotherapists at Solihull's Broad Oaks Health Clinic are Chartered Physiotherapists. Achieving Chartered Physiotherapist status means that a physiotherapist must go through rigorous degree-level training for three years. After passing exams they become state registered and qualified to work alongside medical teams in the NHS and private practice. 'Physiotherapist' is a protected title and only physiotherapists who are registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC) are entitled to use the title physiotherapist.

Physiotherapy is often regarded as the cornerstone of rehabilitation techniques following injury. Physiotherapy often works hand in hand with other practices including Osteopathy, Acupuncture, and Podiatry. As Solihull's most established multi-disciplinary private practice, Broad Oaks Physiotherapists can provide patients with access treatments in all of these areas, ensuring your treatment programme is designed to meet your particular needs.

Whether you are in pain from doing the gardening, unable to participate in your favourite sport due to injury, or experiencing discomfort when driving or working at a desk - we can give help through treatment and advice on preventing further problems.

You are in the safest hands when visiting Solihull's Broad Oaks Health Clinic for physiotherapy and can be assured that you will receive the very best treatment for your condition.

What happens at my Physiotherapy appointment?

At your first physiotherapy appointment, the physiotherapist will undertake a thorough assessment of your problem. This will include a consultation with regard to relevant medical history, previous injuries or problems, as well as your work and recreational activities.

Most people feel better when they really understand their condition. The physiotherapist will examine the area thoroughly, make a diagnosis of the problem and discuss the condition with you. There are a wide range of treatment regimes and techniques available to our physiotherapists, and they will recommend the most appropriate ones for your condition. You will receive treatment for your condition during this first visit.

Early treatment can lead to a faster recovery and can prevent progression of a problem.
