About our service
Our Adult Physiotherapy service consists of registered physiotherapists, physiotherapy assistants and administrative staff. Our aim is to help our patients overcome their conditions through the delivery of quality care, education, awareness, empowerment and encouraging patient participation throughout treatment.
We’ll support patients to regain, maintain or improve their independence, or learn to adapt to sudden or progressive disability. We work closely within a multi-disciplinary team to prepare and plan safe discharges to ensure a high level of support, and to make sure the right equipment is available to patients as they prepare to be discharged from hospital.

How to access our services
If you feel that you are suffering from a musculoskeletal complaint that could benefit from Physiotherapy, you can make a direct referral to the County Durham Integrated MSK Service (CD IMS). This offers patients greater choice and faster access to hospital services without the need to visit a GP. This service is available if you are aged 16 years and older and registered with a GP within the North Durham, Derwentside, Durham Dales and Easington/Sedgefield area.
