This will be decided by your therapist and you and will be discussed as part of your treatment plan. If your problem is very acute then you may need to come more frequently at first. Once the problem is starting to settle and resolve then you will be able to come less frequently providing you are following your home exercise and advice plan.
No. You can flex your appointments to suit your and your physiotherapist’s diary. You can book one at a time or several depending on your preference. Remember the early and late appointments are very popular.
We require 24 hours notice for cancelled appointments otherwise you will be charged the full rate for the missed appointment
This depends on the area to be treated. As part of the assessment the physiotherapist will want to examine the area thoroughly. Clothing needs to be easy to remove or loose enough to expose the area. Sometimes we will want to see the area above and below the problem e.g. if it’s your shoulder we will look at your neck and your elbow. If you are unsure please ask when you book your appointment.
You are more than welcome to bring a chaperone with you. If you have a preference you can also request either a male or female physiotherapist. All children under the age of thirteen must have a parent or guardian with them.
We have an extensive range of tapes, splints and light equipment which is for sale and can be bought on the day. If you require a specialist item then we can source and order this for you. This may take up to a week depending on the supplier.
