What is a Physiotherapist?
Physiotherapists are university trained and are experts in injury diagnosis, injury treatment, exercise prescription, injury prevention, rehabilitation and many other areas of health, sport and fitness.
What do I need to bring?
Be prepared to provide your previous medical or surgical history if you have it and if it is relevant, you can bring an MRI scan or reports as well as a list of medication. You also may wish to bring along a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.
How many visits will I need?
The number of treatments will vary depending on the problem and individual. After a thorough assessment, the physiotherapist will discuss their treatment plan for the rehabilitation process.
What should I wear to my appointment?
If we are treating your feet, you will not be asked to undress but, if we are treating your spine or legs, you will be, so comfortable and modest underwear or even a pair of shorts is appropriate.
How do I make an appointment?
You can get in touch by phone on 01323 722 129 or use the form under the contact page. Alternatively, use the quick and easy online booking page, which is the method we prefer.
Do I have to be referred by a doctor?
No, physiotherapists can assess and treat without referral by a doctor. However, most health insurers require a doctors referral before they authorise cover of fees (some only require a phone call).
Treatment duration depends on your diagnosis, the severity of your impairments, your past medical history, and other factors. Re-evaluations will be done to assess your progress and your therapist communicates with your physician to help you achieve your therapy goals.
We recommend that you confirm your insurance coverage directly with your insurance company.
