Clinics We Offer

Martin Assame and Neil Haigh are physiotherapists working within a first contact role in the practice, enabling you to access assessment and advice regarding the management of any muscle, ligament, joint or bone problems you may have.

These healthcare professionals are all registered with the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and Health and Care Professions Council and are a valuable resource in helping us maintain the best patient care around managing musculoskeletal conditions.

They both have over 20 years experience in working with musculoskeletal conditions. 

You may be offered an appointment in one of our clinics by a member of our team or you can self refer and book a telephone triage appointment via SystmOne Online or the Airmid App.

Here at College Lane we now have an Occupational Health service dedicated to assisting people in returning to work. 

Our Occupational Therapist (OT) can provide holistic, person-centred assessments that aim to identify the possible physical, functional & psychological barriers that are preventing individuals from engaging in meaningful activity & returning back to work.

You may be asked if you would like to see our OT or speak to one of our team about how you can access this service yourself.

What can OT's help with?

• OT’s can complete Holistic, person-centred assessments that aim to identify the possible physical, functional & psychological barriers that are preventing individuals from engaging in meaningful activity & returning back to work. ​
• Provide a vocational rehabilitation programme including fatigue management, anxiety management and work hardening. ​
• Provide tailored specific advice on returning to work with consideration of reasonable adjustments and the duties that an individual will be carrying out day to day.
• OT's can complete ‘fit notes’ (sick notes), but only after they have been seen & assessed by a clinician on an initial appointment.​
• Can support the individual in making important decisions with regards to returning to work; help the individual to gain some finality & closure on the matter, which will inevitably improve their overall health & well-being.​
