Manor Hospital in Biddenham, is pleased to be offering a FREE Physiotherapy class for people suffering with hip and knee pain. Some patients will be waiting for joint replacements, whilst others will have had surgery and be in recovery. There may also be a group of people who are experiencing hip or knee pain who are waiting to see consultants for further advice.

Patients do not need to be patients of Manor Hospital, we welcome all patients to our classes.

What is involved in each session?

This physio led class, helps patients through group exercise, understand what they can do safely to stay moving, and mobile, thus aiding recovery in the long run.

During the class, attendees are given a series of movements to do by our fully qualified physiotherapists. They work with bands for strength, they will perform unilateral work where they can, and are given exercises that they can all recreate at home and practice in their own time.

The class is 50% chair based, but also requires attendees to be standing. The movements can be scaled by the physios as required to suit each individuals needs.

Who attends the classes?

Men and women of all ages attend this class, they generally have a lot in common in that they are prior to, or after receiving joint replacement surgery. Attendees often act as a support network to help each other, often asking each other questions about what they have experienced or are about to.

Even with the class being in it's infancy having only started in April 2024, attendees have fed back that the class is of great value to them, both from being able to talk to the Physiotherapists, and from talking to each other about their experiences.

How may classes am I entitled to attend?

We advise that after surgery, 4 classes will be sufficient to ensure each person has been given enough information about what they need to do to keep moving. We are however no more than a phone call away, anyone who has attended a Movement Class session will receive 10% off any physio session that they book thereafter at Manor Hospital.
