Physiotherapy for injury claims
Treatment from HCPC-registered physiotherapists arranged on the rehabilitation pathway, in line with the Rehabilitation Code 2015, with discharge summaries that sit alongside the expert evidence prepared under CPR Part 35.
Recovery does not wait for a claim to settle. Expert Medical arranges physiotherapy for injured claimants through HCPC-registered physiotherapists, so treatment can begin while the legal process continues. Referrals follow the approach of the Rehabilitation Code 2015, which encourages early assessment of rehabilitation needs so the injured person is restored, as far as possible, to their pre-accident position.
Solicitors use our physiotherapy arrangements to get clients treated promptly and to show that the duty to mitigate has been taken seriously. Insurers are often willing to fund treatment considered under the Rehabilitation Code 2015, since early rehabilitation supports recovery and a cleaner prognosis. Treatment provision is kept separate from independent reporting, and discharge summaries record progress for both parties.
HCPC-registered physiotherapists
Treatment is provided by physiotherapists registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, the statutory regulator for the profession. Registration means the clinician meets the HCPC's standards of proficiency and conduct, so the instructing party knows the person treating their client is properly qualified and accountable to a regulator.
Aligned with the Rehabilitation Code 2015
The Rehabilitation Code 2015 asks both sides of a claim to consider rehabilitation early, before liability is resolved where possible. Our physiotherapy referrals work within that framework, so treatment need not wait for the end of the claim and the injured person's recovery is treated as a priority in itself.
Treatment kept separate from reporting
The clinician who treats a claimant should not be the expert who reports on them, and we keep those roles apart. Physiotherapy is arranged as treatment on the rehabilitation pathway, while independent reporting is handled separately, so the medical evidence in the claim keeps the independence the court expects.
Recovery running alongside the claim
A claim can take months. Recovery should not have to. Arranging physiotherapy early gets the claimant treated while the legal process runs its course, shows the duty to mitigate has been met, and gives both parties a documented record of treatment and progress when the claim is valued.
