Musculoskeletal outpatient physiotherapy service

Royal Free Hospital offers a range of physiotherapy services. Our specialist team is committed to providing tailored treatment plans that best suit your individual needs, in a relaxed and welcoming environment.  

 
Physiotherapy can help alleviate pain, and joint and muscle stiffness, and improve and restore movement and mobility. Our physiotherapy outpatient service offers expert, patient-centred care for individuals with a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal, orthopaedic and rheumatological presentations. We are committed to helping each patient regain function, improve mobility, and enhance their overall quality of life through evidence-based assessment and rehabilitation. 

For musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions, we treat everything from acute injuries and post-surgical recovery to chronic pain syndromes and degenerative joint disease. Our team utilises a combination of manual therapy, acupuncture, exercise rehabilitation, and education to promote healing and prevent recurrence. It offers evidence-based treatment and joint clinics alongside trauma and orthopaedic consultants. 

Patients with rheumatological conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other inflammatory disorders, benefit from gentle, structured programmes designed to maintain joint mobility, reduce pain, and improve physical endurance. Our holistic approach includes patient education and pacing strategies to support long-term self-management. 

Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a long-term condition, or aiming to prevent further injury, our experienced physiotherapists work closely with you to develop a personalised plan that aligns with your goals and supports your journey to optimal health.
