Physiotherapy at Pinewood Residential & Nursing Home

The Practice of John R. Furze (state registered Physiotherapist and Licensed Acupuncturist) is based at Pinewood. John sees residents from the local community on a private basis. However, residents at Pinewood receive John's services on a complimentary basis. John's practice at the home includes a fully furnished Physiotherapy suite with parallel bars and Physiotherapy plinth. Residents who are unable or prefer not to visit John's practice can be seen in their rooms.

Physiotherapy can be extremely effective in elderly patients to restore body movement after a fall or illness or to retain mobility and independence in later life.

What is Physiotherapy?

The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy defines it as:

"Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession with a science foundation. The range of work is very broad and varied and involves working with people to promote their own health and well being.

Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function to as near normal as possible when someone is affected by injury, illness or by developmental or other disability."
