Pain free movement is central to the health and well-being of our patients. Our physiotherapists work as part of our medical team to ensure that our patients’ recovery is as speedy as possible. Our physiotherapists have an appreciation of psychological, cultural and social factors which might influence our patients in any way.

At UKSH facilities, we achieve a below average length of patient stay. This is due in part to our intense physiotherapy program. As a patient, you will typically see your physiotherapist several times a day. They work in conjunction with the rest of your healthcare team to increase pain-free mobility for you. Each patient has an individual treatment plan that is designed around their specific needs. Patient plans begin as soon as a patient comes to us for an assessment. We even provide any mobility aids you may need in advance of your treatment so that there are no delays in ensuring an efficient and stress-free recovery for you.

Physiotherapy is available at all UKSH facilities only as part of an orthopaedic programme.
