FAQs

Physiotherapy is a healthcare treatment focused on improving movement, reducing pain, and restoring function. It uses techniques such as manual therapy, targeted exercises, rehabilitation programmes, and advanced treatments like shockwave therapy. Physiotherapy can help with musculoskeletal conditions affecting muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments.

Physiotherapy can help with a wide range of conditions including back pain, neck pain, knee pain, shoulder injuries, sports injuries, tendon problems, and post-operative rehabilitation. Treatment focuses on identifying the root cause of pain and restoring normal movement.

No. You can book an appointment directly with a private physiotherapist without a GP referral. This is known as direct access and allows you to receive treatment more quickly.

Your first appointment includes a detailed assessment of your symptoms, medical history, and movement patterns. Your physiotherapist will identify the cause of your pain and create a personalised treatment plan. Treatment may begin during the first session.

Initial physiotherapy assessments typically take around 40–45 minutes, while follow‑up treatment sessions usually last about 30 minutes depending on your condition.

The number of sessions depends on the condition and its severity. Minor injuries may improve in a few sessions, while chronic or complex problems may require a structured rehabilitation programme.
