An appointment will usually be available within 48 hours following initial contact. If you require an appointment with a specific physiotherapist there may be a slightly longer waiting time.

This will depend on your problem. Acute injuries may need to be seen once or twice a week initially whereas some problems may only require one appointment.

This depends on your problem, it can be up to six sessions.

If your problem is below the waist, please bring shorts and expect to remove your shoes and socks so your lower half can be observed and assessed effectively. If your problem is in the upper half of your body please wear a vest top and/or suitable undergarments.

Initial consultations last for 45 minutes to an hour depending on the complexity of your problem. Follow ups take 20 to 30 minutes depending on what treatments are being administered.

If you require an MRI, ultrasound scan or x-ray we can refer you directly for this. If you require blood tests or a CT scan we will contact your GP to action this.

Our charges are outlined in the Services section of our website. Please see the Costs table in our Pilates or Advanced Physiotherapy pages or feel free to speak to us directly if you can't find what you're looking for.

In the main Osteopaths and Chiropractors are involved with musculo-skeletal work and tend predominantly to use their manipulative skills. Physiotherapists deal with the rehabilitation of any condition, including neurological problems, womens health, burns, intensive care etc. by physical means. As a result, the training of physiotherapists is broader and more diverse to reflect this.

Advanced physiotherapy is the term used to refer to physiotherapy carried out by an Extended Scope Practitioner or ESP physiotherapist. An ESP physiotherapist is a highly skilled professional who can go beyond the normal bounds of physiotherapy and will also have a specialist area of interest which they have become an expert in, for example the spine and back.

An ESP Physiotherapist has gained extra qualifications, often a Masters Degree, and can go beyond the realms of normal physiotherapy. They may for example request investigations e.g. X-Rays/Ultra Sound scans/MRIs/nerve conduction studies, using the results of investigations to assist clinical diagnosis and appropriate management of patients referring to other professionals where necessary. Even if they don't directly go beyond the normal scope of practice, their extra experience and qualifications ensure a patient receives the best and most appropriate care.
