Question 1

Do I need a GP referral?

Accepted Answer

No. You can contact the clinic directly to discuss your symptoms and arrange the appropriate next steps.

Question 2

How long is the first appointment?

Accepted Answer

The first appointment typically lasts around 45–60 minutes. Although we may stay longer if you need. This allows time for a detailed assessment, discussion of your symptoms and goals, and the creation of an initial rehabilitation plan.

Question 3

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the type of injury and your goals. Some people need just a few sessions for guidance, while others benefit from a longer rehabilitation plan to rebuild strength and movement. We will discuss this with you after the initial assessment and outline a clear plan for recovery.

Question 4

What conditions do you treat?

Accepted Answer

We help with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
• Low back pain

• Sporting injuries

• Muscle tightness and restricted movement

• Joint pain (such as knee, hip, or shoulder problems)

• Post-operative rehabilitation

• Recovery following illness or injury
If you’re unsure whether physiotherapy is right for your situation, please get in touch and we can advise.

Question 5

I’m preparing for surgery — can physiotherapy help?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Physiotherapy before surgery can help improve strength, mobility, and confidence ahead of the procedure. This preparation can often support a smoother recovery afterwards and help you return to normal activity sooner.
