Welcome Statement

We look forward to welcoming you to Wickford Physiotherapy Clinic, whether you have been to us before, or if you are new.

The Clinic was established over 25 years ago by Sarah and has developed into the multi practitioner practice it is today, situated in the middle of Wickford High Street.

All of our therapists are HPC registered and CPR approved, all continuously updating their knowledge and training to offer the latest treatments available.

What we do

Physiotherapy is an essential part of your healthcare and wellbeing. Our knowledgeable and experienced therapists provide you with individual care in a private room within the friendly, very relaxed and comfortable environment of “All of You” therapy rooms.

We specialise in the treatment of muscle and joint problems.

Problems we can help include;

• Spinal problems – including prolapsed discs, degeneration, sciatica, stiff/painful neck and referred arm and leg pain
  
  
• Joint problems – arthritis, injury, stiffness, pain and swelling.
  
  
• Injuries – to muscles, ligaments, tendons or joint injuries etc including Whiplash, work related injuries, repetitive strain injury, sports injuries.
  
  
• After surgery – rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery e.g. hip and knee replacement.
  
  
• Fractures – to increase the healing rate and gain full function once the bones have healed.
  
  
• Headaches – Acupuncture may be used, alongside postural re-education to treat headaches.

We are a hands-on practice and use a number of different treatments including manipulation and mobilisations, massage, exercise, electrotherapy (e.g. ultrasound) and Acupuncture.

What to expect when you visit

We will have a brief chat to record personal details and associated medical history. Then a physical assessment will be undertaken to determine the clinical diagnosis. We will then discuss with you a proposed treatment plan, including an outcome and a time frame.

An initial assessment with advice will last 30 minutes, with subsequent treatment sessions also lasting 30 minutes.

Patients requesting Acupuncture treatment will have an initial assessment/treatment lasting 45mins and subsequent treatment sessions of 30mins.

We will give you an opportunity to ask questions about your condition and provide advice regarding its management and prevention in future.

If you are unable to access the clinic due to disability we are able to arrange a home visit. This is reserved for patients who are not physically able to come to the practice for treatment.
