Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be referred by a
doctor?
If you are covered by Private Healthcare
Insurance you need to call your company’s help line to check
whether you need a letter from your GP or Consultant.
Can I self refer?
Patients who are paying for their treatment
can self refer.
How do I pay?
We accept all major credit and debit cards as
well as payment by cheque.
How long is a treatment
session?
Your first appointment will take up to a
maximum of one hour. During this session you will undergo a
full assessment as well as your first treatment. Follow up
sessions will last up to half an hour.
When are you open?
We are open during the following hours
Monday
8am – 5.00pm
Tuesday 8am
– 9.00pm
Wednesday 8am –
8.30pm
Thursday 8am –
8.30pm
Friday
8am – 5.00pm
The latest any new appointments are booked is
one hour before we close and follow up appointments half an hour
before. Early morning and evening appointments are very
popular so early booking is essential to get your preferred
time.
How often do I have to come for
treatment?
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.
Do I have to come on the same day and
time every week?
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.
What happens if I don’t
attend?
We require 24 hours notice for cancelled
appointments otherwise you will be charged the full rate for the
missed appointment
What should I wear?
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.
Can I bring someone with
me?
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.
My physiotherapist has used some
specialist tape on my leg. Can I buy some more from
you?
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.
