FAQ

  • Can Physiotherapy help me?

    Physiotherapists treat a wide variety of conditions. In our Clinics we specialise in injuries or conditions affecting the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and nerves. This includes spinal problems, sports injuries, sprains, strains and trapped nerves.

  • Do I need a referral from my GP?

    No, you do not need a referral from a GP or Consultant. We normally send a letter to your GP informing them of your condition, unless you request otherwise.

  • Will my private medical insurance cover my treatment?

    We are recognised by all major insurance companies but you must contact your insurer to find out about the particular details of your personal policy.

  • How long are the treatment sessions?

    Your first appointment lasts up to an hour. This will include taking a history of your condition, a thorough physical examination of the problem area and treatment. There is also time for you to ask questions.

  • How many treatments will I need?

    Everyone's condition differs and the severity and duration of your symptoms will depend on how many treatments you require and how you respond once treatment has started. This will be discussed with you at your first appointment. In some cases only one or two treatments are required as we provide a home exercise regime and strongly encourage self management.

  • What treatments are commonly used?

    Depending on what your condition requires we use a variety of manual therapies, electrotherapy, acupuncture and exercise/stretches.

  • Do I have a choice of physiotherapists?

    You may request to see a particular physiotherapist and as we believe in continuity your treatment will always be scheduled with them.

  • What qualifications do your physiotherapists have?

    All of our physiotherapists are members of The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and Physio First , they are also registered with the Health Professions Council. Individual Physiotherapists have further specialised qualifications i.e. members of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP).
