UCL has a free physiotherapy service available as a benefit for staff.
According to NHS England, over 30 million working days are lost in the UK due to Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions and account for 30% of GP consultations.
MSK health and the symptoms linked to conditions have a significant impact on our wellbeing. To mitigate the impact of these and to support your rehabilitation, UCL has a free physiotherapy service available to all staff.
About the service
You will be offered up to 5 sessions, 30 minute each. This includes an initial consultation and follow up appointments where appropriate.
Once the physiotherapist has completed your initial consultation, they will give you exercises for you to complete at home. These will be essential to your recovery and getting the most from the service.
