Reactive 1:1 Physiotherapy
Bespoke assessments and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, including rehabilitation, provided at St Thomas’ Hospital.
Preventative Physiotherapy
- Monthly workshops and seminars on a variety of tailored topics, delivered remotely, aimed at providing preventative interventions to educate staff and reduce musculoskeletal-related time off work.
- Customised opportunities are also available, allowing teams to request bespoke workshops as part of team events or away days. Please contact PrivatePhysiotherapy@gstt.nhs.uk to arrange a bespoke session for your team
