Physiotherapist at work

Physiotherapy

The majority of officers attending the Police Treatment Centres do so to receive intensive physiotherapy treatment. Each patient is thoroughly assessed, relevant to their condition, by a physiotherapist on arrival at the Centres to enable a tailored individual treatment programme to be developed.

The physiotherapists take a proactive approach to treatment but the emphasis is on helping patients to help themselves; patients are encouraged to participate in education and exercise classes and make good use of the facilities, including the swimming pool and exercise gym.

We offer a telephone advisory service to give officers access to information on whether treatment is needed and if so, how to access it. Officers should call and ask for the Physio Department:
