Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession with a science foundation. The range of work is very broad and varied and involves working with people to promote their own health and well being. Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function to as near normal as possible when someone is affected by injury, illness or by developmental or other disability.

A more formal definition of physiotherapy comes from the 2002 CSP Curriculum Framework:
It uses physical approaches to promote, maintain and restore physical, psychological and social well-being, taking account of variations in health status. Physiotherapy is science-based, committed to extending, applying, evaluating and reviewing the evidence that underpins and informs its practice and delivery.

The exercise of clinical judgement and informed interpretation is at its core.

Welcome to our community page, here you will find a varied list of useful contacts and resources that we think you may find useful.

We have professional bodies, such as the Health Professional Council and Chartered Society of Physiotherapy through to charities like The Pilgrim Bandits and Honey Pot.

Pilgrim Bandits work closely with military amputees and local veterans, along with many smaller forces projects. They also hope to be able to fund research and development into Prosthetics for our wounded. Honey Pot is a charity that works with children who are young carers and juggle school and growing up whilst performing a surrogate adult role at home. Many care for a chronically or terminally ill loved one, or have a parent with drug, alcohol or mental health problems. You will also find links to local business we work with throughout our community.

We hold regular free patient information talks at various locations throughout Southampton and the New Forest.

At the Back Pain information talk attendees are taught the causes of back pain, a simple exercise to improve spinal stability, and a cognitive behavioural therapy technique to help relaxation. The Back Care Course we offer is also discussed.

If you have had a hip or knee joint replacement, or are suffering from arthritis, then the Joint Replacement talk is for you. This talk is about what to expect when you have a joint replacement and the rehabilitation required following surgery.

Our newest talk is on Golf Injuries, we will be discussing common golfing injuries to the knee, shoulder and elbow. Useful hints and tips on injury prevention and treatment will be provided.
