Horton General Hospital and Brackley Health Centre Adult Outpatient Physiotherapy referrals

Horton General Hospital

The Physiotherapy Team is based over two sites; the Horton General Hospital in Banbury and Brackley Health Centre, with staff working across both sites.

On both sites we provide treatment for:

adult musculoskeletal patients referred by GPs in South Northamptonshire and South Warwickshire
Trauma and Orthopaedic, Emergency Department and Rheumatology referrals from North Oxfordshire and surrounding counties.

We believe in shared decision-making with agreed goals. This ensures that each patient is treated as an individual and that their needs are identified and met where possible.

An emphasis is placed on increasing the patient's self-efficacy and educating them on how to self-manage their pain, dysfunction or disability.

Our skills include the following.

Manual therapy
Soft tissue release
Pain management and pacing advice
Electrotherapy
Exercise prescription
High level rehabilitation back to sport
Exercise-based classes
Acupuncture as an adjunct to therapy
