Physiotherapy in Arundel
Arundel sits a short drive east of Fontwell Physio, based at The Wolds on Fontwell Avenue, which puts a full rehabilitation facility within easy reach of the town and the surrounding villages.
What patients from Arundel tend to want is a clear answer and a route back to normal activity. Our chartered physiotherapists assess thoroughly, explain what they find without dressing it up, and then get on with treating it. Twenty-five years of clinical experience in this part of West Sussex sits behind that.
Hydrotherapy for Arundel patients
Our purpose-built hydrotherapy pool gives us an option that most local clinics cannot offer. Heated to 34 degrees, the water reduces the load going through painful joints while still allowing meaningful movement and muscle work.
It is particularly valuable when weight-bearing is the problem. If walking the hill up towards the castle, or simply managing stairs at home, has become the thing you avoid, hydrotherapy allows you to rebuild that capacity before your joints are ready to do it on land.
- Access: easy-access stairs with rails, or a seated hoist
- Changing facilities: four private changing rooms, showers included
- One to one sessions: a therapist in the water guiding your programme
- Self-treatment sessions: work through your own prescribed programme alongside others
- Aqua fitness: classes for gentle mobility or for genuine cardiovascular work
A one to one session is required before self-treatment sessions so your goals are properly understood. See the hydrotherapy page for the detail.
Physiotherapy at Fontwell Physio
Our physiotherapy service treats the cause rather than chasing the symptom. That usually means looking above and below the painful area, because an ankle that keeps giving way and a hip that has stopped controlling it are frequently the same problem.
Once pain settles, the work moves into our gym. Restoring strength and load tolerance is what stops the same injury recurring in six months, and it is the stage most people skip.
Why patients from Arundel choose Fontwell Physio
- Short journey, full facility. Everything needed for a complete rehabilitation programme sits on one site nearby.
- Thorough assessment. Time is spent finding the cause rather than treating the loudest symptom.
- Strength work included. Gym-based progression is built into the plan, not left to you to arrange afterwards.
- Chartered clinicians. All physiotherapists are HCPC and CSP registered.
Conditions we treat
Conditions we treat for Arundel patients include:
- Ankle pain and recurrent sprains
- Knee pain from running, walking or degenerative change
- Sports injuries across club and recreational sport
- Orthopaedic conditions following surgery or fracture
- Neck and back pain of both recent and long-standing onset
What to expect at your first appointment
First appointments are booked as an initial assessment. Here is how the session runs:
- Your story. Told in full, without being rushed.
- Examination. A physical assessment leading to a working diagnosis we then explain to you.
- The plan. Treatment starts the same session, and you leave knowing what to do next.
Beyond physiotherapy
Where a joint is too irritable for rehabilitation to progress, steroid injections can create the window needed to get started. We also offer acupuncture and podiatry, and we regularly support people recovering from orthopaedic injury or surgery through the full course of their recovery.
