Physiotherapist

The physiotherapist in the pain clinic looks to assist you in reactivation as long term pain can lead to reduced activity levels. Helping you to gain confidence with activity can benefit long term pain, but can also have a positive impact on overall health. We approach activity and exercise through graded exposure to ensure a steady increase in activity over a period of time.

We aim to provide this through 1:1 appointments where we can give individualised advice, but we also have access to a gym class which is run by a physiotherapist from the pain clinic. We can also advise regarding ongoing exercise schemes locally to help you to make lifelong changes.

We are aware of a fire within the grounds of Malton Hospital.

All patients and colleagues have been safely evacuated, and there are no reports of any injuries.

We are working closely with North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service and other partner agencies to monitor the situation.

If you have an appointment at Malton Hospital today, please do not attend. Our teams are reviewing all affected appointments, and we will contact you as soon as possible to rearrange or discuss the next steps. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Malton Urgent Treatment Centre is also currently closed. Please do not attend. If you require urgent medical advice, please use NHS 111 online or call 111. In a life-threatening emergency, always call 999.

We will provide further updates as soon as more information becomes available.
