Why choose a private physiotherapist?
Previously unsuccessful NHS physiotherapy does not mean physio can’t help you.
With the pressures faced by the NHS, physiotherapists in the NHS are often subjected to long waiting lists and may lack flexibility with appointment times. External constraints sometimes impose a restriction on the number of appointments and type of treatment you can have, rather than considering individual needs.
We offer you:
- We aim to offer same day appointments wherever possible
- Effective range of treatments leading to a quicker recovery
- Flexible & convenient appointment times
- Self-referral: no need to see your GP, just book an appointment
- Registered with all major Health Insurance Companies (BUPA, AXA PPP, Aviva, WPA, Cigna). Please bring your membership details and authorisation number to your appointment to allow us to invoice them directly
- Private self-contained treatment room
Our therapists can request diagnostic scans (such as x-rays and MRI scans) and tests and are experienced in their interpretation.
We have close working relationships with leading local Orthopaedic Surgeons, Sports Medicine Physicians, Rheumatologists and Consultant Anaesthetists (pain specialists), so however complex your problem we can help you recover successfully and refer you to the appropriate specialist if needed.
