physiotherapy services

Our experienced, qualified physiotherapy team delivers a high level of care in an atmosphere of trust and reassurance. They are all members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and are registered with the Health Professions Council.

Physiotherapy can benefit patients who suffer from acute and chronic conditions such as:

  • Osteo-arthritis
  • Road traffic accident rehabilitation
  • Rheumatoid diseases
  • Neurological conditions
  • Spinal problems
  • Post operative rehabilitation

Your initial appointment will be an assessment with your physiotherapist in which an appropriate treatment plan will be agreed. This may include hydrotherapy – a treatment in water that is kept at a temperature of 33-35ºC.

Our patients are covered by various insurers and we have a partnership agreement with BUPA, and are recognised by AXA PPP, for the provision of physiotherapy.

A means-tested ‘Access to Care’ grant is available for those of limited means who wish to apply to it to help reduce costs.

Sue Pople - Head of Physiotherapy

Having qualified from King’s College hospital in 1981,I worked for the NHS  in the Brighton and Mid Sussex area, completing a wide range of rotational positions.

I started a small private practice in 1987, working with older patients many of whom had Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia.  I am particularly interested in orthopaedic, elderly frail and neurological rehabilitation.

I joined Burrswood as Head of Department in 2008. My interest in rehabilitation has grown as I have had the opportunity to develop my skills, particularly in hydrotherapy, through several courses and in service training.

Whole person care is central to my work, using specific clinical skills along side those of listening and encouragement. I believe that a Physiotherapist’s role is that of facilitation and empowering the patients to be as independent as possible.

I grew up in Sussex, went to secondary school in Tunbridge Wells and then returned home after finishing at Coventry university.  I visited Bocky’s tearoom as a child but I have since learnt Burrswood offers a whole lot more than great cake.
 
Since joining the team in Oct 2010, I have completed a hydrotherapy course, psychological skills training in chronic conditions and currently lead the weekly Physical Relaxation class.  I am also qualified in Sports Emergency first aid.

My physiotherapy interests currently lie within the consolidation of skills learnt throughout my student career and the use of aquatic therapy in a variety of conditions.

I studied an accelerated physiotherapy degree at Brighton University, following which I worked at Croydon PCT and Mayday Hospitals before joining Burrswood.  As part of the MSc Course I completed a 15,000 word dissertation on low back pain which I revised and published in a medical journal called ‘Manual Therapy’.  I presented my research at a National Physiotherapy Research Network meeting and at an Interdisciplinary World Conference on Low Back and Pelvic Pain in Los Angeles, USA.

I have a special interest in musculoskeletal problems and sports injuries.  I was a member of the Football Association Medical Society for 2 years and I have completed a Level 1 Clinical Pilates course, Hydrotherapy courses, and attended advanced classes on low back and pelvic pain.

I enjoy working at Burrswood Hospital and am currently working on a research project for people with Multiple Sclerosis in collaboration with the University of Brighton.

I qualified as a physiotherapist in 1993 having graduated from King’s College University.  I have worked at Chailey Heritage and The Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath.

I now specialise in neurology though my other passion is teaching and I have been a Clinical Educator for physiotherapy students for many years. In the summer of 2000 I was seconded to Brighton University to carry out a research project which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I love my work at Burrswood and its lovely healing atmosphere which just simply makes you feel better.
