Since December 2006, Peak Physiotherapy has provided the on-site physiotherapy consultancy
service at the Headrow Commuter Walk-in Centre in Leeds city centre. The physiotherapy service
forms an integral part of the Walk-in Centre multi-disciplinary team working closely with experienced
Practice Nurses, Nurse Practitioners and GPs.
This is a free NHS physiotherapy service, available Monday-Thursday, offering 20-minute appointments during
which patients will be assessed and given appropriate advice on management and treatment of their problem/injury.
Appointments can be made either by visiting the Walk-in Centre, or by telephoning the reception on 0870 8180003.
No prior appointment with a GP or nurse is necessary.
This is the only service in the region whereby a patient can refer themselves directly to a physiotherapist,
without having to pay privately.
Examples of what the physiotherapy service can assess/help with include:
- Sports injuries
- Back/neck problems
- Sprains and strains
- Work-related injuries/postural problems
- RSI
- Whiplash Associated Disorder
- General advice regarding chronic/arthritic joint problems
- Post-surgical joints
