Benefits:
In the case of sporting injuries, it is important to intervene as early as possible. Our Physiotherapists can provide you with that necessary early intervention through diagnostics, exploring the cause of injury and guiding you through the different stages of rehabilitation as your body returns to full functionality.
If required, we can offer a prompt referral service to our team of Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons and Pain Specialists. At Beacon Hospital we have experienced Consultants that specialise in each of the different areas of the body e.g. spine, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, foot etc. Your GP or Consultant may also refer you to our Radiology Department for diagnostic imaging should this be required.
