The Physiotherapy Centre at Holy Cross Hospital is offering a free telephone or video physiotherapy consultation to NHS staff.

As a show of appreciation for all that they are doing, we want to provide our NHS colleagues with access to some complimentary physiotherapy advice to help with managing their physical discomfort.” Any NHS worker who is interested in taking up the offer should phone 01428 647647 or email therapy@holycross.org.uk.
