Physiotherapy Services at Nottingham Road Clinic provide specialist-led assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal, neurological and functional movement conditions. Physiotherapy plays a central role in restoring movement, reducing pain, improving function and preventing further injury across a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.
The service is delivered by experienced physiotherapists with expertise in evidence-based assessment and rehabilitation. Physiotherapy at NRC is integrated within a wider specialist-led clinical environment, with access to imaging, diagnostics and consultant input where required. This allows physiotherapy management to be delivered alongside medical and surgical care when appropriate.
Nottingham Road Clinic adopts a structured and goal-oriented approach to physiotherapy. Assessment focuses on identifying the underlying cause of pain, dysfunction or mobility limitation, rather than treating symptoms in isolation. Management plans are personalised, progressive and aligned with national clinical guidance. Physiotherapy frequently forms part of a multidisciplinary pathway, supporting recovery following injury, surgery or medical treatment and addressing the physical and functional impact of long-term conditions.

Physiotherapy Services are suitable for adults who require specialist assessment and rehabilitation beyond self-management or basic primary care intervention.
This includes patients with:
Specialist physiotherapy input is particularly important where symptoms persist, affect quality of life, follow injury or surgery, or where there is diagnostic uncertainty requiring coordinated assessment with medical specialists. The service supports both self-pay and insured patients and accepts referrals from GPs, consultants and other healthcare professionals.
The Physiotherapy Service assesses and manages a broad range of conditions affecting movement, strength, coordination and function.
Musculoskeletal conditions
These include back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, hip and knee pain, tendon disorders, ligament injuries and overuse syndromes. Physiotherapy supports pain reduction, functional recovery and injury prevention.
Sports and activity-related injuries
Acute and chronic injuries related to sport, exercise or occupational activity require structured assessment and rehabilitation to restore performance and reduce recurrence.
Post-operative rehabilitation
Physiotherapy plays a key role following orthopaedic and other surgical procedures, supporting safe return to movement, strength and function.
Neurological and balance-related symptoms
Conditions affecting balance, coordination and mobility may require specialist physiotherapy input as part of a wider neurological or rehabilitation pathway.
Persistent and recurrent pain
Chronic pain conditions often involve complex physical and behavioural factors requiring structured rehabilitation rather than isolated treatment.
Red-flag features
Severe pain, neurological deficit, unexplained weakness, progressive functional decline or systemic symptoms require coordinated assessment and medical referral.
Assessment begins with a detailed history, focusing on symptom onset, progression, aggravating and relieving factors, previous treatment and functional impact. Relevant medical history, imaging and consultant correspondence are reviewed where available.
Clinical assessment may include:
Diagnostic reasoning is applied to determine contributing biomechanical, neuromuscular and behavioural factors. Where physiotherapy identifies features requiring further medical investigation, appropriate referral pathways are used.
Assessment and management align with UK clinical guidelines and professional standards.
Physiotherapy management is tailored to diagnosis, functional goals and patient capability.
Treatment pathways may include:
Treatment plans are progressive and reviewed regularly. Emphasis is placed on patient education and long-term self-management, with follow-up used to monitor progress and adapt treatment safely.
