What we do
Physiotherapists help people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice. They maintain health for people of all ages, helping patients to manage pain and prevent disease. The profession helps to facilitate recovery, enabling people to stay in work and helping them remain independent for as long as possible.
Musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapists specialise in treating muscle and joint problems such as arthritis, back & neck pain, sprains and strains.
Who we treat
We treat people registered with a Wirral GP who are 16yrs of age and over and who are able to leave their house to attend appointments

Preparing for your appointment
At your first appointment you will be asked to describe the symptoms of the condition your GP has referred you for, before being examined. Please be aware that your physiotherapist will need to be able to easily see the area of your body that is affected so please wear appropriate clothing: eg a vest top or shorts/suitable well covering underwear.
Please bring a list of your current medication with you.
If you require subsequent treatment appointments will last up to 20mins.
