Windsor Remedy Centre | Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession concerned with human function and movement and maximising potential.

Physiotherapy is far more than fixing musculo-skeletal sports injuries, although that is perhaps the most common perception of the profession, and certainly the most common reason that patients contact Windsor Remedy Centre for care.

Your physiotherapist will take a detailed history of your condition and thoroughly examine both the immediate site of injury and the whole of your musculo-skeletal system. This ensures that not only is the injury treated, but the underlying imbalances and stresses that have contributed to it are addressed too.

At Windsor Remedy Centre our physiotherapists not only accept their own patients for treatment, but also provide integrated care along with the chiropractors to fully rehabilitate an acute injury. Often a home exercise routine will be prescribed to facilitate the chiropractic treatment already received.

We believe that this integrated care provides the best of both worlds and ensures your optimal recovery and well being.

All of our physiotherapists are experienced members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists.

We are delighted and proud to provide NHS funded physiotherapy services to the local GPs. Windsor Remedy Centre was chosen by the doctors to fulfill this important role out of all of the local health clinics. This service is available through GP referral only.
