Physiotherapy/ Physical Activity

A physiotherapist and therapy assistant can support you if you are under the tier 3 weight management service within the Doncaster or Bassetlaw area. We currently offer telephone advice for people who would like guidance on how to increase their activity levels in a way that works for them.

For those patients with pain that is related to your joints, muscles or nerves and is preventing you from being physically active, we can carry out an assessment and offer advice and exercises over the telephone. If your condition is deemed to require a face to face assessment this can also be arranged at DRI.

In order to meet our referral criteria you should be motivated to do exercises and increase your activity levels.
