Q) What sort of problems do you treat?

A) Physiotherapy is primarily concerned with treatment of problems that arise from the musculoskeletal system, i.e. your muscles, ligaments, tendons, bones or joints. If such structures are injured or diseased they tend to cause a range of symptoms such as pain, stiffness or weakness in the body region affected. Physiotherapy can help with your problem if it is caused by something sudden like a sports injury or if the damage has happened over a period of time i.e. work-related neck or upper limb pain. Physiotherapy is also very beneficial in the management of arthritic conditions such as rheumatoid or osteoarthritis.

Q) How many treatment sessions on average are required?

A) This really depends on the diagnosis and the type of problem you present with. In general, if a soft tissue injury is of sudden onset, i.e. a pulled muscle, 4 – 6 treatments would be required usually over a 6 week period.

If however, you have had the pain for a number of years, we will wish to identify the cause of the pain and also the reason why it has persisted for so long. It is more likely that treatment for this sort of problem would take about 10 treatments over a period of 6 – 10 months.

Q) Do I need to be referred by my Doctor?

A) It is not necessary to be referred by your Doctor. Just give us a call on the number listed and we will be happy to discuss with you whether we would be able to help.

Q) How much does treatment at The Clinic cost?

A) A 1 hour physiotherapy session costs from £50.00 and 30 minute sessions (where appropriate) are £30.00.

Q) What payment methods can be used?

A) Payment is by cash or cheque at the end of each treatment session unless your treatment is being paid for by your health insurance company, in which case we will bill them direct.
