Physiotherapy in Huddersfield

Physiotherapy is a service that helps restore and maintain movement and function affected by injuries or certain conditions. A key principle of physiotherapy is to look at the body as a whole to improve a patient's physical and mental wellbeing.

You might need to see a physiotherapist for a number of different reasons. Physiotherapists can help with back and neck pain, sports injuries, joint pain, arthritis, muscle injuries and post-surgery rehabilitation. Some physiotherapists specialise in sports rehabilitation, women's health, acupuncture, sports massage, hand therapy and Pilates.

We know that no two patients are the same, that's why our specialist team of HCPC registered physiotherapists can provide expert advice and develop an exercise programme tailored to you.
Speak to our friendly team today to arrange your appointment with one of our highly experienced physiotherapists.

All physiotherapists are registered with the Health & Care Professions Council. As our physiotherapy service is housed within the hospital, we have easy access to other specialist services you may require, like a range of expert consultants, including fast-track access to high-quality imaging technology.

• Acupuncture physiotherapy: Acupuncture can be used in combination with other forms of physiotherapy to help ease symptoms of pain caused by a range of conditions. Very fine needles are inserted into certain trigger points in the body which stimulates the nerves under the skin and causes the body to produce natural pain-relieving chemicals (endorphins).

• Bracing treatment: Bracing is used to help painful joints or stability issues by providing support and reducing pressure put on those joints. A brace is a supportive device and can be used to help with various injuries or chronic conditions such as ligament sprain, tendon injuries, osteoarthritis and post-operative support. Braces have a different design and function depending on where on the body they are used. Your physiotherapist will advise you on which brace is the most appropriate for you, and will ensure it is fitted correctly.

• Gait analysis: Gait analysis allows your physiotherapist to assess your dynamic posture and coordination when walking or running. Any abnormalities in your foot strike and loading pattern can lead to pain in the joints and muscles in your ankles, knees, hips and back. This assessment enables your physiotherapist to create a tailored treatment plan to help you walk and run pain-free, and to help reduce the risk of further injuries. Sometimes, you may require specialist insoles to help correct any abnormalities in your gait.

• General physiotherapy: Physiotherapy involves using movement, exercise and manual therapy to help improve pain and quality of life for people affected by injury or illness. It can help you improve your strength and recovery so you can get back to doing the things you love. Physiotherapy can help many people to remain independent for as long as possible. Our physiotherapists use a holistic approach to your treatment, taking into account everything from your lifestyle to your health and wellbeing when creating your tailored treatment plan.

• Hand therapy: Hand therapy is for patients with a hand injury or condition. This could be arthritis, nerve entrapments, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonopathies, repetitive strain injury, trigger finger or soft tissue injuries and fractures. Your physiotherapist will tailor your hand therapy treatment to your needs and lifestyle.

• Pelvic health physiotherapy: Pelvic health physiotherapy refers to the treatment and rehabilitation of pelvic disorders such as bowel and bladder function, pelvic organ prolapse, chronic pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, pregnancy related problems and pelvic surgery recovery. Not all conditions are the same, and our specialist pelvic health physiotherapists use a range of treatments to help you in your recovery including exercise, stretches, advice, education, manual therapy and scar massage.

• Sports injuries physiotherapy: Sometimes injuries can occur when carrying out exercise or playing a sport, whether due to trauma (acute injury) or the overuse of a certain muscle or joint over a prolonged period of time (chronic injury). The sooner your sports injury is treated, the better. Common sports injuries we can help with include sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, Achilles tendon ruptures, rotator cuff injuries and tendonopathy. The way your sports injury is treated depends on the location and severity of the injury.

• Sports Massage: Known to relieve tension in muscles, sports massage can improve circulation and can relax the body after intense activity.

• Shockwave therapy: also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), it is used to treat chronic tendon problems, shoulder pain, painful heel, tennis elbow or pain in the Achilles tendon.
