Woodfield Physiotherapy Centre works in partnership with The Paddock Pool providing specialist land-based rehabilitation, physiotherapy services and aquatic therapy/medical hydrotherapy. We welcome case management patients with complex orthopaedic trauma and musculoskeletal presentations as their predominant injury.

Woodfield Physiotherapy Centre has been established for over 25 years. The team of physiotherapists are highly qualified and experienced and the practice is held in high esteem across Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

We treat a growing number of case management patients both in our clinic as well as in their homes. Our domiciliary service offers early input for patients following discharge from hospital and who may not be mobile enough to get to the centre. We can offer this service for patients with approximately a one-hour drive time of the clinic.

The majority of these patients will benefit from being treated by the same practitioner for both their hydrotherapy and land-based physiotherapy treatments.

Georgia has extensive experience in treating patients following major trauma having worked at Cambridge University Hospitals for 12 years. She has worked across acute trauma and orthopaedics and musculoskeletal outpatients providing both land-based and aquatic rehabilitation. During this time, she worked closely with the Limb Reconstruction Team and has specialist knowledge in the management of complex lower limb fractures with internal and external devices. Over the last 3 years she has worked with this client group in the private sector providing longer term rehabilitation to maximise functional outcome. She also has experience with amputee rehabilitation and has worked closely with Dorset Orthopaedics with multiple patients. She is skilled in working with large multi-disciplinary teams and offers thorough report writing on assessment and for further recommendation. Further information about the Hydrotherapy services on offer through The Paddock Pool can be found on their website.

Luke’s Story

On the 6th of October 2021, I was unfortunately involved in a road accident which left me with severe injuries. The doctors explained that I suffered a complicated fracture to my tibia and fibula and lost 3cm of bone which would require an external fixator for my leg.

I felt so angry and upset that I would be having this fixator on for round 16 – 18 months. Also, with so many operations going on I didn’t get discharged until the end of December 2021.

Once I was finally home, my priority was to build the muscles back in my legs as I was bed bound for 3 months. My case manager contacted Woodfield Physiotherapy Centre and arranged for Georgia who specialises in orthopaedic trauma to come to my house and help me to get back on my feet.

After a couple of months, I was finally able to walk a bit, I had the option to go to the Woodfield clinic instead of having Georgia coming to my house, it made me feel like I was making progress with my recovery. I was able to take my rehabilitation to the next level with the equipment and space available. Over the next couple of years, I became a regular at Woodfield, everyone made me feel comfortable and I didn’t feel like people were staring at my leg. This significantly helped me build my independence and confidence.

Round halfway through my recovery Georgia introduced me to James and Claire who own The Paddock Pool hydrotherapy pool. I was able to see Georgia at both the pool every week   and at Woodfield physiotherapy centre. Initially, it was such a relief to get in the water when I had the external fixator in place to ease the weight and for pain relief. The pool enabled me to do more than I could on land which helped speed up my recovery. Everyone at The Paddock Pool was super helpful and very friendly.

In my personal opinion, without Georgia’s help and expertise I don’t think I would have got this far without her. She has always been available outside of structured sessions whenever I needed advice and support, especially when suffering with increased pain in my leg.

As of today, I’m still working hard in the gym to maintain all the work I’ve achieved over the years and I’m still using Georgia’s knowledge and advice to improve my workouts.

On behalf of me and my family we would like to thank Georgia for all her hard work and being so kind and caring at a difficult time.
