Do I need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist?
No. Physiotherapists are qualified to assess, diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions without the need for a GP referral. You can book directly with us at a time that suits you.
What happens during my first appointment?
Your initial 45-minute appointment includes a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, goals and activity levels. We will then carry out a physical assessment, explain our findings and develop a personalised treatment plan with you.
How long are appointments?
Initial Physiotherapy Assessment: 45 minutes
Follow-Up Physiotherapy Appointment: 30 minutes
Free Telephone Consultation: 15 minutes
What should I wear to my appointment?
Please wear comfortable clothing that allows the affected area to be assessed. For example, shorts are useful for knee, hip or ankle problems, while a vest top may be helpful for shoulder or neck assessments.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your condition, goals and how long the problem has been present. Some patients require only a small number of sessions, while others may benefit from a longer rehabilitation programme. We will discuss this with you following your assessment.
Do you treat sports injuries?
Yes. We assess and treat a wide range of sporting injuries, from recreational exercisers and runners through to high-level athletes. Our aim is to help you recover safely and return to the activities you enjoy as quickly as possible.
Do you treat older adults?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience helping older adults improve strength, mobility, balance and confidence. Physiotherapy can play an important role in maintaining independence and improving quality of life.
Can physiotherapy help with back pain?
Yes. Back pain is one of the most common conditions we treat. Following a thorough assessment, we will identify the likely cause of your symptoms and develop a treatment and rehabilitation plan tailored to your needs.
Can physiotherapy help after surgery?
Yes. We regularly help patients recover following orthopaedic procedures, including knee, hip, shoulder and other musculoskeletal surgeries. Effective rehabilitation can help optimise recovery and return to normal activities.
Do you offer telephone consultations?
Yes. We offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation if you would like to discuss your symptoms before booking an appointment.
Do you accept Bupa patients?
Yes. We welcome patients with Bupa health insurance. Please contact us before booking if you intend to use private medical insurance so that we can guide you through the authorisation process.
