A leading physiotherapist who has worked for premier league football teams is offering up his services to frontline NHS staff.

Phillip Wilson, who runs the Twyford Clinic, is planning of giving his services to those who need it over the next few weeks.

He is offering to help healthcare workers at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital who are currently dealing with the Covid-19 crisis.

Mr Wilson said: “I would like to thank all the NHS frontline staff and am offering a free assessment if they are in pain. I am a Consultant Physiotherapist and run The Twyford Clinic near Winchester.

“I used to work at Southampton Football Club and want to offer something back to my community - Since the Covid crisis I have changed my working practice. I am still offering assessments and treatment to people who are in severe pain ensuring there is no cross over with other patients and fully cleaning the clinic each session this is to help prevent them attending Gp surgeries and A&E to protect our NHS.”

He has written to local GPs explaining the services. Anyone interested in taking Mr Wilson up on the offer can contact 01962 714 979 or visit www.thetwyfordclinic.co.uk.
