Physiotherapy and Occupational therapy

You can self-refer for a review with the Physiotherapy team who are specialists in providing treatment for all types of conditions affecting the joints, muscles, tendons, and bones in your body.

Some Common examples include:

• joint and muscle symptoms
• back and neck symptoms
• rehabilitation after fractures or orthopaedic surgery
• soft tissue injuries
• whiplash
• sports injuries

They can work with you to set goals, develop a rehabilitation program, and address any other lifestyle factors to help prevent recurrences and enable you to self-manage your condition.

You and your clinician will work together to understand your needs and goals and help get you back to what you want to do.

This service also has access to a range of community groups and classes based in local leisure centres around Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark, and Sherwood. These can support you with a range of health problems like back, knee, hip and shoulder pain or provide supervised gym sessions to help your recovery.
