Physiotherapy in North East Essex
Physiotherapy outpatients in North East Essex
We provide specialist physiotherapy within the areas of women’s and men’s health. We also provide hydrotherapy and hand therapy.
Musculoskeletal (bone, joint, muscle and soft tissue) conditions are extremely common and can often be successfully managed with physiotherapy.
We cover North East Essex which includes the Colchester and Tendring districts.
What does the Physiotherapy team do?
Physiotherapists will encourage the self-management of these conditions. They also promote health and well-being with the aim of improving quality of life and activities. Each patient will have an assessment where personalised goals will be set. A variety of approaches for treatment will be considered.
Physiotherapy will aim to:
- provide education and information about specific conditions
- relieve, prevent and manage pain / physical impairments
- improve muscle strength and mobility
- improve basic functions such as standing and walking
- rehabilitate gait and mobility
- provide rehabilitation post-operatively
- provide rehabilitation post-trauma
- manage the symptoms of soft tissue and joint injuries
- signposting to external agencies for further support
