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.
