 > Physiotherapy

The Sancta Maria physiotherapy team comprises of skilled, Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered, chartered physiotherapists.

They are skilled in pre-operative physiotherapy and post-operative rehabilitation, working with patients to achieve the best outcomes. Physiotherapy aims to facilitate restoration of normal patterns and functionality via expert examination and use of therapeutic techniques. Each person will have a detailed assessment followed by the provision of an individualised specific treatment regime to promote their return to function and achievement of their identified treatment goals. Treatments are developed to promote recovery and to aid prevention of recurrence or future injury. Pre and post-operative physiotherapy is included within the price of joint replacement procedures and many other orthopaedic surgeries. More information will be provided prior to booking.

Pre-Operative Physiotherapy

Prior to your surgery, you will have a thorough assessment with a physiotherapist to measure mobility and strength. Some issues can slow down your post-operative recovery so getting your body into the best condition possible prior to surgery can help you to recover quicker.  A physiotherapist will also discuss your personal situation including whether you have stairs and rails in your home so they can facilitate your safe journey home after your procedure. They will offer advice for the post-operative phase on areas including getting in and out of bed safely as well as discussing any concerns you may have.

Post-Operative Physiotherapy

Once your consultant has undertaken your specialist surgery many people will require a structured rehabilitation programme to promote post-operative success. Your physiotherapist will work closely with you to promote your optimal recovery. You may be given exercises to prevent possible complications such as chest infections, deep vein thrombosis and swelling together with specific exercises to encourage joint range of motion and muscle conditioning and strengthening where appropriate. Following discharge from hospital your physiotherapist will arrange for you to have further outpatient treatment sessions as required to monitor and promote your continue recovery.

Outpatient Physiotherapy

Sancta Maria also specialises in outpatient physiotherapy for patients with musculoskeletal conditions. Sessions are on a one to one therapist to patient basis, and the initial assessment is 45 minutes and follow up appointments 30 minutes. One of our experienced team of physiotherapists will assess you and provide a treatment plan. Some common conditions which are covered include:
  • Joint problems including osteoarthritis
  • Spinal problems including back pain, sciatica, neck pain.
  • Soft tissue conditions
  • Sports injuries
  • Persistent pain
  • Rheumatological conditions

“Can not fault this hospital one bit. All of the staff were so lovely nothing was too much trouble. Very reassuring and caring which made me feel very much at ease, I didn’t want to come home! They all do such an amazing job and I’m very thankful for everything.”

Jade Baker

“Just had a total knee replacement at this fabulous hospital. From the moment you walk through the door you feel at ease. Everyone was so kind and caring. I was very nervous before my operation, but was soon assured everything would be fine. Thank you to all of you I met over my 4 day stay xx.”

Margaret Dawson

“I was very nervous and stressed before my treatment but all the staff went above and beyond to calm me down and reassure me. I was well informed and was made to feel like a person not just another number. The room I was in was spotlessly clean, not too hot and smelled fresh and not “hospitally”. The staff were very efficient and thorough.”

Leanne Helm

“I was discharged last night following an operation on my ankle. All of the staff where polite and extremely attentive. The room was cosy and clean. Every need was catered for. I was really dreading my operation the staff managed to make my stay very pleasant. Best hospital I’ve ever been in and would highly recommend to anyone. Excellent.”

Mark Goodlad

“Lovey staff, consultants too and such a good atmosphere. Can’t fault it at all”
