What Is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy focuses on restoring movement, reducing pain, and improving function following injury, illness, or long‑term musculoskeletal conditions. Treatment is tailored to the individual and may include:

Detailed assessment and diagnosis
Manual therapy and joint mobilisation
Exercise‑based rehabilitation programmes
Post‑operative recovery support
Injury prevention and movement optimisation

Physiotherapy can play a vital role in both acute injury recovery and long‑term condition management.

Conditions Commonly Treated

Patients referred through Ready Health may be supported for a wide range of conditions, including:

Back and neck pain
Sports injuries
Shoulder, hip, knee and ankle problems
Muscle strains and ligament injuries
Post‑surgical rehabilitation
Arthritis and joint stiffness
Work‑related and repetitive strain injuries

All treatment plans are personalised following a full clinical assessment.

Our Physiotherapy Partner

Their team of qualified physiotherapists provide:

Comprehensive one‑to‑one assessments
Individualised treatment plans
Hands‑on therapy combined with rehabilitation exercises

How the Referral Process Works

Option 1: Self‑Booking Physiotherapy
Patients who are confident that physiotherapy is the right next step may self‑book directly with our trusted partner following guidance from Ready Health.

Option 2: Clinical Assessment at Ready Health
Alternatively, you may book an appointment with one of our Ready Health clinicians for a full assessment. This allows us to:

Confirm whether physiotherapy is the most appropriate treatment pathway
Support with pain management advice or treatment where appropriate
Arrange referrals for diagnostic imaging (such as X‑ray, ultrasound or MRI) if clinically indicated

Referral to Bridgeman Physiotherapy
If physiotherapy is deemed suitable, we will arrange a referral to our trusted physiotherapy partner, Bridgeman Physiotherapy.

Physiotherapy Assessment & Treatment
Your physiotherapy care is delivered directly by Bridgeman Physiotherapy at their clinic, with an individualised treatment and rehabilitation plan.

Ongoing Communication
Where relevant, clinical feedback is shared to support joined‑up care.

Why We Use a Specialist Referral Model

Access to dedicated physiotherapy expertise
High clinical standards and evidence‑based practice
Seamless referral pathway for patients
Focused, specialist rehabilitation environments
Continuity of care with your Ready Health clinician

This approach ensures patients receive the right care, from the right professional, at the right time.

Physiotherapy Faq's

Our physiotherapists can help with a number of conditions and injuries that could cause pain or discomfort, including:

- Back and neck pain
- Sports injuries
- Shoulder, hip, knee and ankle problems
- Muscle strains and ligament injuries
- Post‑surgical rehabilitation
- Arthritis and joint stiffness
- Work‑related and repetitive strain injuries

They can also help rehabilitate you after surgery or a long period of low mobility.
Your physio will assess you during your first appointment and check your range of movement in your problem areas before creating a bespoke plan for you to follow over the course of a few weeks or months.
Many people who complete their physio plan find their symptoms or injury heal faster and manage to preserve a greater range of movement.

No — physiotherapy treatment is delivered by our trusted referral partner, Bridgeman Physiotherapy, rather than on‑site at Ready Health.

You can be referred through Ready Health, or in some cases self‑refer, depending on your needs. Our team can advise.

Where appropriate, clinical information can be shared to ensure continuity of care.

You can book a consultation with one of our clinicians using our Book As You Need appointments booking page, or you may self-refer directly by visiting our trusted partner’s website at https://www.bridgemanphysiotherapy.co.uk/.
