Clere Physiotherapy Clinic
ONE OF THE LONGEST ESTABLISHED PHYSIOTHERAPY CLINICS IN THE AREA
An update on our current situation.
This time last week we were still treating patients, whilst taking the necessary precautions. At the weekend The Therapy Centre, at Deanwood Park was closed. At this point we were able to use another location, temporarily. However, by Monday, social distancing advice was making it difficult for us to justify treating patients face to face, regardless of precautions that we were taking. This was further confirmed, that day by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists, who directed all physiotherapists nationally to suspended face to face treatment consultations within the out patient environment. This very definitely includes us.
Our professional body has been in touch with most of the major private medical insurance companies & have gained permission for us to conduct assessments & treatment sessions via remote consultations, using video technology. These consultations will be covered by the patients current policy.
Clearly, as a "hands on profession" this is not ideal. However, most of our treatment techniques are complimented by an exercise regime. Some conditions are best treated with exercises. These exercises can be to help with movement & others to help with strength. We can give advice & tips on pain management, We can give advice & tips on management of swelling & inflammation. So we can help.
It will be strange, & there will some difficulties but I'm sure that these will improve as we all use this technology more.
On occasions we may be able to demonstrate exercises during the consultation & on other occasions we might direct patients to websites that we know about, & are good, where patients can see exercises being performed.
Please bear with us during this time & do stay safe!
If you would like to discuss any of this please give me a ring on 07747 535799. If we feel that a remote consultation would be beneficial & you are happy to go ahead we will arrange how & when this can take place.
Finally, on a different note DO be aware that physiotherapist that work within the hospital environment on the wards & especially in respiratory care WILL be continuing to treat patients face to face as part of the important treatment & fight against this current emergency.
The Clere Physiotherapy Clinic has been treating patients in Newbury since 1988, which makes it one of the longest established Physiotherapy Clinics in the area. Having been based at Greenacre Leisure for many years the Clinic is now based at The Therapy Centre at Deanwood Park Golf Club, Stockcross. There is ample, free, parking for patients in this location, on the edge of town close to the A4 junction with the Newbury Bypass.
Clere Physiotherapy Clinic is run by husband & wife team, Andy & Lynne Widdop. Collectively they bring many years of experience across a broad range of interests & expertise. Both are Chartered Physiotherapists & are also registered with the Health Professions Council.
This means that the Clinic is recognised by the major Private Healthcare Providers, allowing patients withprivate medical insurance to claim back their treatment charges.
The Clinic aims to assess patients quickly & then, working with the patient, produce a treatment plan which will see the patient return to full fitness as rapidly as possible. Throughout treatment patients will be given exercises & information to help with resolution of the problem. On successful completion of treatment the patient will be given strategies & advice on how to reduce the possibilities of a recurrence.
As well as clinic based treatments Lynne & Andrew both able to treat patients in their own homes or in Nursing Homes. This is particularly useful for elderly patients who are struggling with their mobility & require help & advice to help achieve this.
