Welcome
Provide’s Physiotherapy Service delivers NHS care.
We offer digital support for people in Mid Essex with Musculoskeletal conditions and other healthcare professionals involved in their care to ensure best management is offered as quickly as possible.
Our aim is to share high quality information and resources for managing Musculoskeletal conditions via an online platform to help people to manage their problem quickly and effectively as well as identifying those who may need further treatment within our service or other healthcare services. Click Self-Help for more details.
For people who do still need to access the Physiotherapy Service and meet our NHS commissioned criteria, we provide expert assessment, diagnosis and treatment for adults and children with MSK conditions, including specialist advice on self-management to help people return to their normal activities.
