What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a regulated healthcare profession focused on assessing, treating, and preventing pain, injuries, and movement problems. Treatment may include manual therapy, rehabilitation exercises, education, and personalised programmes designed to improve mobility, reduce symptoms, and support long-term recovery.

Do I need a GP referral?

No, a GP referral is not usually required for private physiotherapy appointments. You can book directly with our experienced physiotherapists. However, some private medical insurers may require pre-authorisation or a referral before approving treatment.

What happens during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your first appointment includes a detailed assessment of your symptoms, medical history, movement, and goals. Your physiotherapist will explain your diagnosis, discuss treatment options, and create a personalised rehabilitation plan based on your condition and lifestyle.

What conditions do you treat?

We provide expert physiotherapy for a wide range of conditions including sports injuries, back and neck pain, joint problems, post-operative rehabilitation, pelvic health concerns, vestibular disorders, and movement-related issues.

Do you accept private medical insurance?

Yes. We work with major private medical insurance providers including BUPA, AXA, WPA, CIGNA and Vitality. Please obtain pre-authorisation from your insurer before your appointment and have your membership number and authorisation code available when booking.

How long does physiotherapy treatment take?

The length of treatment depends on your condition, symptoms, and recovery goals. Some patients improve within a few sessions, while others with complex or long-term conditions may require a structured rehabilitation programme.
