Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will I need?
As each condition and person is different, it is difficult to tell how many treatments may be required. However, generally three or four sessions is sufficient and some people may only need one.

How long do treatment sessions last?
Your initial consultation may take a little longer and can last about 45 to 60 minutes.  Follow up treatments are 30 minutes.

Do I need to be referred by a Doctor?
You do not need a Doctor’s referral to attend for assessment or treatment but sometimes it may be necessary to refer back to them if NHS medical imaging or consultant referral is required.

If you have private health insurance, they may require a referral or signed form by your Doctor in order to  authorise reimbursement of treatment charges.

Does my Medical Insurance cover the treatment?
Our treatments are recognised by many insurers, but policies can vary and it is always wise to check with them beforehand.

You will need to be insured for Sports Therapy treatment or Alternative therapies. being insured for Physiotherapy is not always an indicator that our treatments are covered.

Will you contact my doctor?
