WHAT TO EXPECT
Our Physiotherapist will carry out a thorough initial assessment and this can be up to an hour depending on the complexity of the condition. There is access to strength and conditioning referral to our associate Tom Lininsh www.tomlininsh.co.uk
I recommend that you wear clothing that you feel comfortable in but allows the Physiotherapist to examine you effectively.
Based on your examination, a recommendation of further investigation may be made, and if further treatment is appropriate this will be discussed with you so you can make an informed decision with your Physiotherapist.
Subsequent treatments are usually of 30 minute duration.
Please note that all under 16's must have a responsible adult with them for all assessment and treatment episodes.
Please see TREATMENTS page for common conditions and treatments.
