Public to access high quality physio thanks to partnership
Tuesday 29 May 2018
MEMBERS of the public will be able to access high quality physiotherapy sessions at The Manchester Institute of Health And Performance (MIHP) thanks to a partnership with the University of Salford.
The University has set up a public physiotherapy clinic, delivered by staff and students, within the state-of-the-art East Manchester facility.
The clinic is opening after the University formed a partnership with the pioneering institute to deliver a high-quality research programme incorporating public health and sports performance.
Students on the University’s BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy programme will conduct the sessions. They will be mentored and supported by highly experienced physiotherapists, and will be able to see up to four clients at the same time. The clinic will be open to the public every Wednesday afternoon between 1 and 4pm and will provide discounted rates.
Research partnership
The research partnership with the University will cover areas of health and physical activity including osteoarthritis and footwear interventions for patients who have had treatments to the knee.
Not only will our students be given unparalleled opportunities to work in a unique environment, but also members of the public from Manchester and further afield will have further access to quality private physiotherapy.
Dr Steve Atkins, Director of Sport, Exercise and Physiotherapy at the University of Salford, said: “The Manchester Institute of Health & Performance is a world-class facility and it’s wonderful to see our partnership providing real benefits.
“Not only will our students be given unparalleled opportunities to work in a unique environment, but also members of the public from Manchester and further afield will have further access to quality private physiotherapy.
“But this is just the start of exploring the potential for what we will be able to deliver in partnership with MIHP and we look forward to announcing other exciting projects over the next few years.”
Rachael Dawe, Performance Lead at MIHP, said: “We are delighted to be able to combine both student engagement and elite care under-one-roof, and offer this accessible service to the wider Manchester community.”
