A collection of health advice resources and useful links for Brunswick Surgery patients — covering physiotherapy, exercise, ear care, bone health, stop smoking and mental health support.
Physiotherapy
If you have a musculoskeletal problem — such as back pain, a joint injury or a muscle strain — you may be able to access online physiotherapy advice and exercises through the uBetter platform. This service provides personalised, condition-specific guidance to help you manage your symptoms and recover at home.
Access uBetter Physiotherapy →You can also see our First Contact Physiotherapist (FCP) directly at the surgery — you do not always need a GP referral first. See our Clinics page for details.
Better Bones
The Better Bones programme provides guidance and exercises designed to help improve bone strength and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and falls. It is particularly suitable for older patients or those who have been advised to look after their bone health.

Working at a desk for long periods — whether at home or in an office — can cause neck, shoulder and back discomfort. This exercise sheet provides simple stretches and movements you can do throughout the day to reduce strain and stay comfortable.

Many problems with ears — including a build-up of earwax — can be managed at home with the right approach. Our ear care leaflet explains how to keep your ears healthy, when to seek help, and what to avoid.

We also run a weekly Stop Smoking Clinic at the surgery every Wednesday, 9:30am – 12:30pm, where free nicotine replacement therapy is provided.
