On-Site Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy for Colleges
Medella Home Physio & OT partners with colleges across Hampshire and Dorset to provide convenient, professional, on-site physiotherapy and occupational therapy services. We understand that supporting student well-being is paramount, and timely access to therapy can play a crucial role in maintaining health, managing injuries, and supporting students with specific needs to fully participate in college life. Our experienced therapists can deliver tailored services directly within your college environment, offering a valuable resource for both students and potentially staff.
On-Site Therapy Services Tailored to Your College
We can work with you to develop a service model that meets the specific needs of your college community. Potential services include:
- Scheduled On-Site Clinics: Regular physiotherapy clinics for assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries (e.g., sports injuries, back pain), helping students recover quickly and minimise disruption to their studies.
- Occupational Therapy Support: Providing assessments and strategies for students with physical disabilities, learning difficulties, or other conditions impacting their ability to manage coursework, navigate the campus, or participate in practical sessions. This can include advice on specialist equipment or ergonomic setups.
- Support for Residential Students: Offering continuity of therapy for residential students who may require ongoing physiotherapy or occupational therapy input while away from home.
- Ergonomic Advice: Workshops or individual consultations on healthy study habits, workstation setup, and preventing postural strain for students and potentially staff.
- Referral Pathway: Acting as a trusted provider for efficient referrals when students require more intensive or specialised therapy off-site (though our primary model here is on-site).
Supporting Student Health, Well-being, and Achievement
Integrating Medella’s services into your college’s support provision offers several benefits:
- Improved Access to Care: Students can access expert therapy conveniently on-site, reducing the need for time-consuming off-campus appointments.
- Reduced Time Lost to Injury/Illness: Prompt assessment and treatment can speed up recovery from injuries, potentially reducing absenteeism.
- Enhanced Support for Students with Additional Needs: Provides practical support to help students with disabilities or long-term conditions thrive in the college environment.
- Promotion of Health and Well-being: Demonstrates the college’s commitment to student welfare by providing accessible health resources.
- Convenience for College Staff: Simplifies the process of referring students for therapy and liaising with providers.
