MCH musculoskeletal physiotherapy

MCH musculoskeletal physiotherapy has been an established physiotherapy team for many years since evolving from Medway PCT. Since our move to the purpose built clinic at MCH House in November 2013 our team continues to grow in variety and quality. We provide NHS care and have begun offering private classes which, as a social enterprise, gets reinvested into improving our services.

This page aims to get more information to our patients, our future patients and offering advice to prevent injuries.

In our service we have over 20 skilled clinicians ranging from newly qualified Physiotherapists to 20+ years clinical experience. We have a structured learning programme to help us share and learn new research and topics on condition management. We also are involved with research like audits to improve our service and clinical trials with Universities like Southampton.
