Physiotherapy Services in Lerwick
We run the service from Harrow in north-west London; there is no Lerwick premises to walk into. Sessions take place in your own home, and the clinician assigned to you may be travelling in from elsewhere. We can only confirm a visit once we know your full postcode and which therapists are free when you get in touch.
Lerwick is the capital of Shetland and Britain’s most northerly town, built around a sheltered harbour on Bressay Sound. Its old heart is Commercial Street, a narrow flagstoned street running parallel to the shore, with the Lodberries, merchants’ houses and stores built right into the sea, at its southern end.
Steep lanes and steps climb from Commercial Street up to Hillhead and the town hall, which makes the old town beautiful but tough for anyone with weak legs or poor balance. Newer housing at Sound, Staney Hill and Gremista is laid out on gentler slopes. Fort Charlotte, built in the seventeenth century, overlooks the harbour.
Every January, Lerwick hosts Up Helly Aa, the fire festival in which a squad dressed as Vikings marches through the town and burns a replica longship. The Shetland Museum and Archives at Hay’s Dock and the Clickimin Broch and leisure centre beside the loch offer level, sheltered places to walk.
NHS Shetland provides health services on the islands, with the Gilbert Bain Hospital in Lerwick. More complex surgery often means a flight or the overnight NorthLink ferry to Aberdeen. Our private home physiotherapy is designed to fit alongside local follow-up after people come home.
For many islanders, recovery means getting back up the lanes from Commercial Street, coping with wind and rain, or managing the ferry to Bressay. We use those real routes as goals, with plenty of work on balance and stair practice for the steep steps.
