Adult Physiotherapy – Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Outpatients

Source: https://www.berkshirehealthcare.nhs.uk/services/musculoskeletal-physiotherapy-outpatients

We offer assessment and treatment plans for any problem affecting muscles, bones or joints. Conditions we can help with include neck or back pain (e.g., sciatica), osteoarthritis, fractures, tendon issues such as tennis elbow or Achilles tendinopathy, ligament tears, long‑term conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and chronic pain, and recovery after musculoskeletal surgery. After the first assessment we provide a personalised recovery plan, education and exercises you can do at home, and we can advise on pain management. Appointments typically last 30‑40 minutes.

How to be referred

• You can be referred by your GP, a hospital consultant, or you can self‑refer using our online form.

Our team works with children and young people aged 0‑19 to develop gross‑motor skills, improve posture and mobility, and provide specialist equipment such as seating, standing frames, mobility aids and splints. We also support neurological conditions that affect movement. We do not treat musculoskeletal (bone, joint or muscle) conditions – those are managed by the Dingley Paediatric Physiotherapy Service.
