Highworth
Physiotherapy clinic was started in 1989 by Sonya Nightingale.
It
expanded and moved to its current location in a grade II
listed building
in the High Street of Highworth in 2003. It is convenienly
situated between a pub and a
bakery for after treatment refreshments! We now have three
fully
equipped treatment rooms including one on the ground floor for patients
unable to use the stairs. What to expect when
you come for treatment. We
usually allow 45 minutes
for your assessment and 30 minutes for follow up
treatments. However these times may vary depending on the
condition being treated and this time also includes time to write up
your notes.
At
the assessment your physiotherapist will ask you questions about your
condition and general health. They
will carry out an
examination which includes some treatment in order
to assess
how you respond to treatment as some people respond better than others.
Your physiotherapist will then agree a treatment plan with
you
and depending on the physiotherapists findings they may recommend
further treatments. You will also be given advise on self
management of your condition and may be given exercises to carry out
yourself at home.
It is best to wear loose fitting clothing for
your treatments and your physiotherapist may require you to remove some
clothing to assist in the assessment and treatment.
Your
physiotherapy treatment like any other medical treatments is
confidential. No information about you will be divulged to
anyone
else except your GP or consultant, without your prior written
permission.
