OUR PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICE

• In addition to our regular Ward and Out Patient
  Service we now offer a complete rehabilitation
  package to all our Orthopaedic patients both
  surgical and non surgical. This now includes
  Acupuncture, Hydrotherapy and supervised, patient
  specific Gym Rehabilitation.
• Our Hydrotherapy Service uses Bollington Leisure
  Centre. We offer appointments either early
  mornings or in the afternoons on selected days.
  With flexible appointment times we can offer
  rehabilitation to many differing types of
  patients.
• For those who wish to progress their
  rehabilitation further, we now offer specific,
  supervised gym sessions, using the Bollington
  Leisure Centre Gym. These sessions are available
  during early mornings two days a week.

INPATIENT SERVICE

• During an inpatient stay at the Regency, all
  Orthopaedic patients are seen on the ward
  regularly, and progressed appropriately in
  preparation for going home.
• Before discharge they are offered an Out Patient
  appointment in our Physiotherapy Department.
• For those living out of the area we can refer
  patients to other Physiotherapy Departments.
• We also see all general surgical patients for
  mobility and chest physiotherapy, breast surgery
  patients for shoulder exercises, gynaecological
  patients for abdominal and pelvic floor exercises
  and all bariatric patients for mobility and
  fitness advice during weight loss.

Pre-Op

• Orthopaedic surgical patients my be seen by a
  Physiotherapist pre-operatively, usually in the
  week before surgery if you attend the pre-op
  clinic.
• During this clinic they are seen by our Nursing
  Staff and then following this they are seen in
  our Physiotherapy Department.
• We advise on the Physiotherapy they will receive
  during their stay, any exercises that may be
  beneficial to practice before they come in, and
  the treatment offered post discharge.
• We see patients undergoing hip and knee
  replacements, back surgery and shoulder surgery.

OUT PATIENT SERVICE

• We dont have a waiting list so all patients
  either from the ward following surgery or
  referred from Consultants and GPs can be offered
  appointments within days.
• Our Department is open from 8am 6 pm most days
  so we can usually accommodate most patients
  appointment wishes.

  treatments acupuncture, ultra sound, pulsed
  shortwave, joint mobilisations, muscle

HYDROTHERAPY SERVICE Why and where?

• To offer a better all round rehabilitation
  package for our orthopaedic patients.
• To offer an alternative form of treatment to gym
  and conventional department set up.
• To help patients take responsibility for their
  own rehab giving them the incentive to go and
  continue their exercises in a pool themselves.
• Makes exercising more enjoyable.
• More Sociable.
• Peer support.
• Efficient can treat more than one patient at a
  time.
• Good use of treatment time full half hour
  session, patients arrive changed and ready, no
  time wasted.
• Give patients allocated time each week to
  concentrate on exercises when otherwise busy.

BENEFITS OF HYDROTHERAPY

• Warm water is very relaxing.
• Can treat multiple joint problems / conditions.
• Good for pain relief and reduction of swelling as
  joints are supported whilst exercising.
• Good for early knee rehab when patients are only
  partially weight bearing.
• Buoyancy can be used to support, assist, resist
  and for stretching.
• We try to get patients with similar conditions to
  work together, great for peer support and morale
  boosting.
• Can be used for aerobic activities jumping,
  jogging, changing direction. A good
  re-introduction to spring and bounce.
• Although a group activity, one to one operates
  within the group.
• With physios in the water, it is easy to assess
  and progress each individual patient. Exercises
  can be more finely graded according to the
  patients specific needs.
• Enjoyable and fun!
• Allows patients to take responsibility for their
  own rehab. Many come back on their own to use the
  pool or join the gym.
• Great for working on core stability and balance.
• Patients do not have to be able to swim. We have
  plenty of choice of exercises so non swimmers can
  keep their feet firmly on the ground!
