Treating sports injuries with physiotherapy
Any injury to the body can be a nuisance, but even more so if
you are involved in sport. It is important to obtain immediate
advice and effective treatment following injury as a delay could
lengthen your recovery time.
At Mount Stuart Hospital we are able to offer access to
Chartered Physiotherapists within 24 hours, who will assess your
injury, begin appropriate treatment and guide your rehabilitation,
to enable you to return to your sport as soon as possible. The
Physiotherapist will provide a structured progressive treatment
programme, tailormade to your pathology, including correcting any
dysfunctional movement patterns.
To book an appointment please telephone the Physiotherapy
department on 01803 321636.
The department is open for Outpatients:
Monday 8am-6pm
Tuesday 8am-6pm
Wednesday 8am-6pm
Thursday 8am-6pm
Friday 8am-3.30pm
The Physiotherapy department accepts referral from both GPs and
Consultants. You may also self-refer for treatment. In this
situation the Physiotherapist will report any findings and outcome
at the end of your treatment back to your GP.
