Complex polytrauma refers to multiple, severe injuries sustained in a single traumatic event—such as a road traffic collision, fall from height, or industrial accident. These injuries often involve a combination of neurological, orthopaedic, soft tissue, and internal organ damage, and may be accompanied by significant psychological trauma. Rehabilitation in these cases is highly specialised, requiring a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach.
At Physio Matters, we understand the complexity and individuality of polytrauma recovery. Our specialist physiotherapists are experienced in managing clients with catastrophic injuries, and we tailor every rehabilitation plan to meet the unique needs of each person.
What Is Complex Polytrauma Physiotherapy?
This form of physiotherapy focuses on restoring function, mobility, and independence in individuals with multiple injuries. It often includes:
- Neurological rehabilitation for brain injury, spinal cord damage, or nerve trauma
- Orthopaedic management for fractures, amputations, or joint replacements
- Soft tissue recovery including wound care and scar management
- Respiratory support for chest trauma or prolonged immobility
- Cognitive and emotional support, often in collaboration with psychologists and case managers
Our approach is holistic, recognising that physical recovery is deeply connected to emotional wellbeing and social reintegration.
