Musculoskeletal (MSK) Outpatient Physiotherapy Service
We provide musculoskeletal outpatient physiotherapy for residents who are registered at a GP practice in the Royal Borough of Kingston. We are located at the Surbiton Health Centre.
Our service is designed to enable patients to enjoy the best level of physical function, pain relief and independence as possible. Physiotherapy helps people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercises, manual therapy, education and advice. Some problems resolve quickly, others take more time to improve, and some problems have to be managed as they are long-term.
We work closely with Kingston Borough Public Health Services, which include Better Bones and Get Active initiatives, with Kingston Hospital and with South West London Integrated Care Board via getUBetter.
Referrals
We mainly receive referrals from Kingston GPs.
