Accessing the Service

Patients can access the Camden Community Physiotherapy Service in two ways:

• Self-referral: Call 0207 871 0545 to book an appointment with a physiotherapist.
• GP referral: Speak with your GP to determine if a referral is necessary.

Upon referral, patients typically have a telephone consultation with a chartered physiotherapist to assess their symptoms and create a treatment plan. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include exercises, educational seminars, or in-person sessions at local clinics.

PhysioLine: Immediate Support

For quicker access, the PhysioLine offers phone consultations with a physiotherapist within 2-4 days of referral. This service allows patients to start managing their condition promptly, avoiding unnecessary disruption to daily life.

Group Classes and Educational Seminars

In addition to one-on-one sessions, the service offers group settings for Exercise Classes and Educational Seminars. These sessions are tailored to improve strength, flexibility, and self-management of conditions, often led by trained physiotherapists or assistants. Patients benefit not only from expert guidance but also from interacting with others facing similar challenges, fostering a supportive environment.

Key Locations

Camden residents have access to several health centers for in-person treatment, including:

• Fraser House
• Kentish Town Sports Centre
• Peckwater Health Centre
• St Alban’s Health Centre

Each location provides a comfortable space for treatment and rehabilitation.

Self-Management and Lifestyle

A core principle of the Camden service is empowering patients to self-manage their conditions. By following prescribed exercise routines, patients can reduce pain and strengthen their muscles over time. It is important to continue progressing your exercises, increasing weight, repetitions, or speed, to promote recovery.

In case of flare-ups, patients are advised not to panic but to adjust their exercise regimen accordingly. Recovery time varies for everyone, and symptoms may take several weeks or even months to fully improve.
