SERVICES
Welcome to Crowborough & Wadhurst
We are a team of six experienced physiotherapists working from our clinics in Wadhurst and Crowborough.
We specialise in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions in the widest sense of the term, from spinal problems to foot pain, torn muscles to post operative rehabilitation after fractures or joint replacement.
Why physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy as the name suggests is the treatment of differing conditions by physical means.
This may be by stretching, strengthening, relearning movement patterns, manipulation, massage or by using some electrotherapeutic modalities such as ultrasound or interferential. These may be used in conjunction with injection where appropriate.
Whatever is eventually used nothing is done until a comprehensive examination and assessment is carried out. This may take up to an hour. It is usual for people to be taught a little about the mechanism of their problem so that they can see the purpose of various exercises they will almost inevitably be asked to do.
In some instances supportive or corrective taping may be used for a time and if this is a long term problem patients will be shown how to do this for themselves.
Understanding some basic biomechanics can be extremely helpful in dealing with the endemic spinal problems we all encounter. Advice will be given about the use of various supports, braces etc needed by some conditions as well as ergonomic advice for both work, home and sporting environment.
Physiotherapy may be appropriate in the following situations:
Sprains or strains of any joint
Neck or back pain
Following fractures
Following surgery, including joint replacement.
Appointments
We offer appointments from 8.00am to 7.00pm Monday to Friday. Home visits are available to those whom because of disability are unable to attend the clinics.
Initial appointments are 45 minutes but can be 1 hour. Subsequent appointments will vary with the problem and will range from 30 to 45 minutes.
Referral by a doctor is not a requirement, however, if you are seeking reimbursement from private health insurance companies they will want you to have spoken to your doctor first. At your first visit the physiotherapist will be able to give you some idea of the number of treatments you will need. As a guide our average number is just less than five.
We do maintain close relationships with all our patients doctors — both GPs and consultants — and unless requested not to, will write to them outlining the condition, progress etc.
If you would like to make an appointment or require further advice please email us or phone on 01892 785095 (Wadhurst) or 01892 668968 (Crowborough).
