Physiotherapy in Haywards Heath
Whether you’re struggling with back pain, recovering from surgery, managing a longstanding injury or finding everyday movement more difficult, Physiotherapy can help.
At The Physio Therapy Centre in Haywards Heath, our experienced physiotherapists provide individual assessment, hands-on treatment and personalised rehabilitation to help you move more comfortably, manage pain and return to the activities that matter to you.

Conditions We Treat
Physiotherapy can help with a wide range of conditions affecting your muscles, joints and movement, including:
Back and neck pain – including stiffness, recurring discomfort and sciatica.
Shoulder, elbow and wrist problems – pain or restricted movement affecting work, hobbies and everyday activities.
Hip, knee and ankle pain – including joint problems that make walking, climbing stairs or exercising difficult.
Sports and exercise injuries – helping you recover and return to activity.
Post-operative rehabilitation – rebuilding movement, strength and confidence following surgery.
Muscle and tendon problems – including strains, overuse injuries and persistent discomfort.
Headaches and dizziness – including certain neck-related headaches and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), where appropriate.
Balance and mobility difficulties – improving confidence and independence with everyday movement.
You don’t need to know exactly what’s causing your symptoms before booking. Your physiotherapist will assess your problem and discuss the most appropriate way forward.
How We Treat Your Condition
Every patient is different, which is why we tailor our physiotherapy treatments to your individual needs, symptoms and goals.
Your physiotherapist will assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment, which may include hands-on therapy, joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, targeted exercises and personalised rehabilitation.
We also offer Shockwave Therapy, a non-invasive treatment that may be particularly helpful for certain persistent tendon problems, including Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow.
Throughout your treatment, we’ll provide practical advice and guidance to help you manage your symptoms, improve your movement and build confidence in your recovery.
Our aim isn’t simply to relieve your immediate discomfort, but to help you achieve lasting improvements and get back to the activities you enjoy.
What Happens at Your First Appointment?
Your initial Physiotherapy appointment lasts 45 minutes and includes both a thorough assessment and treatment.
We’ll begin with approximately 15 minutes discussing your symptoms, medical history and how your problem is affecting your everyday life. Your physiotherapist will also assess your movement, strength and flexibility to help understand the cause of your symptoms.
The remaining 30 minutes are dedicated to treatment, tailored to your individual needs. This may include hands-on therapy, joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques or rehabilitation exercises, depending on your condition.
We’ll explain our findings clearly, discuss your treatment options and provide practical advice and exercises to help support your recovery.
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. You’re also welcome to bring a friend, family member or chaperone to your appointment.
Rehabilitation – Helping You Stay Active
Recovering from an injury or managing a longstanding condition often involves more than hands-on treatment.
Improving your strength, mobility and confidence can be an important part of making lasting progress.
Our physiotherapists can provide personalised rehabilitation exercises, tailored to your abilities and gradually progressed as you improve.
We also offer Rehabilitation Classes at The Physio Therapy Centre, providing a supportive environment where you can continue developing your strength, movement and confidence.

Physiotherapy in the Comfort of Your Own Home
We understand that visiting the practice isn’t always easy, particularly following surgery, illness or when mobility is limited.
That’s why we also offer Home Visit Physiotherapy, allowing patients to receive individual assessment, treatment and rehabilitation in the comfort of their own homes.
Home visits can be particularly helpful for people recovering from hospital treatment, older adults experiencing mobility difficulties or anyone finding it difficult to attend the practice.
