Physiotherapy at Treloar's College
Helping with mobility
When you first arrive at Treloar’s, you are assessed by one of our physiotherapists. They work to ensure you can achieve your full movement and mobility potential, so you can participate fully in your education and social life.
Physiotherapy plans
All our students have their own physiotherapy plan, which is individual to them. We create this with you, and your physiotherapy will involve your residential support staff, if appropriate. Physiotherapy includes exercises, stretches, treatment and pain relief, and takes places individually or in groups. You may also have physiotherapy in the hydrotherapy pool or take part in sessions involving dance or horse-riding.
When you leave Treloar's, you should have the confidence to live in an environment where physiotherapy is not routinely available, and be able to develop an exercise programme that you can maintain on your own.
Clinics and appointments
Our physiotherapy team is on call 24 hours a day, which is useful for treating muscles that spasm frequently or for stretching after sitting in class all morning.
The team liaises with the visiting orthotist, who provides specialist equipment such as boots, splints and walking aids, in his weekly clinic. They also take the lead in post-operative therapy for students when they return to College after surgery.
