Ashford and St. Peter’s NHS Foundation Trust are delighted to have embarked on a brilliant new partnership with Egham Orbit to provide musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy services for a variety of exercises and education rehabilitation classes. Providing these services at Egham Orbit will enable us to utilise state of the art facilities for our rehab clinics, where patients’ complete their tailored made exercise programmes under the supervision of our physiotherapy staff.
As a Trust, we are committed to providing holistic patient care closer to patients’ in the community to help promote and support healthy lifestyle and positive self-management of musculoskeletal conditions. The management and staff of Egham Orbit have been amazing in helping facilitate this huge change for the physiotherapy team and following a year of predominately working from home and seeing patients virtually, our team of dedicated physiotherapists and technicians are eager to start this new venture.
With our classes ranging from Lower Limb, Upper Limb, Back to Fitness (for persistent low back pain) and pre-op Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) classes to help prepare patients for surgery to Mindfulness Movement Classes helping support patients with persistent pain, fatigue, stress, anxiety or sleep disturbance we are offering classes to cater for many common MSK conditions which evidence shows that group exercise in the community have positive outcomes for the patients. We are also embracing the use of technology our classes being hybrid, offering both F2F or virtual, to match our patients needs and preferences.
The team launched at Egham Orbit last month and are settling in well, and are committed to provide quality, patient-centred care.
