Kings Park Hospital offers patients a wide range of therapeutic and musculo-skeletal rehabilitation services.

Our physiotherapists are registered with the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists and work as part of the hospital’s multi-disciplinary teams within our hospitals so that, if necessary, our patients can benefit from fast referrals and access to the latest imaging technologies to help accurately diagnose and aid treatment pathway decisions.

Treatments

At Kings Park Hospital we offer the following services:

• Bracing - you may benefit from bracing if you have been suffering with painful joints, stability issues or have ongoing pain. Braces can also help with rehabilitation and returning to sport.
• Chronic pain management - if you have had persistent or long standing pain that has failed to respond to previous treatments, then it would be helpful to consult a physiotherapist. This type of physiotherapy has been shown to assist patients with coping strategies that can help improve quality of life.
• Gait analysis – is the assessment of the lower limb biomechanics, e.g. how you stand, walk or run, to help identify problems in your legs, hips or even your back. It can help prevent painful conditions developing or recurring.
• Upper limb rehabilitation - provides assessment and holistic rehabilitation for patients with an upper limb injury or condition. The treatment is tailored to your needs and focuses on helping you get back to the day to day activities that you enjoy.
• Occupational health - physiotherapists who work in occupational health help to treat work-related problems, as well as educating employers and staff on safe working practices to help avoid injury.
• Pelvic health rehabilitation - our physiotherapists are trained to provide general advice on conditions that can cause pelvic problems, such as incontinence of the bladder or bowel, or pelvic pain.
• Physiotherapy for sports injuries - the diagnosis and treatment of muscle, joint and nerve problems caused by practicing a sport or exercising, including muscle imbalances, joint pain and post-fracture rehabilitation. The aim is to get you back to sport as soon as possible.
• Pilates - a form of exercise that may improve balance, strength, posture, flexibility and circulation. It focuses on strengthening the core abdominal and back muscles. Please note this is not specialist Pilates therapy and instead provides pilates-style exercises that can be used. 
• Rehabilitation service - aims to improve function after surgery or injuries including fractures, accidents, chronic spinal conditions, strokes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, cranial surgery, cardiac surgery, and functional neurological disorders and complex conditions.

Facilities

Our physiotherapists will work with you to provide expert advice and develop an exercise programme which meets your specific needs. Exercise forms an important part of physiotherapy. The aim is to increase mobility, muscle strength, general fitness, and build core stability and balance, aiming to reduce symptoms within a customised rehabilitation programme.

Our gym includes:

• Bike
• Free weights
• Gym balls
• Balance equipment

If we cannot help you with physiotherapy, we can quickly refer you to our Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons who can deal with keyhole joint surgery, repair of ligament injuries, treatment of fractures and repair of tendon and nerve injuries.
