HOW TO GET APPOINTMENT

We offer appointments from 8.00am to 4.00pm Mon to Sat. Initial appointments are 45 minutes but can be 1 hour. Subsequent appointments will vary with the problem and will range from 30 - 45 minutes. Referral by a doctor is not a requirement, however, if you are seeking reimbursement from private health insurance companies they will want you to have spoken to you doctor first. At your first visit the physiotherapist will be able to give you some idea of the number of treatments you will need. As a guide our average number is just less than 5. We do maintain close relationships with all our patients doctors both G.Ps and consultants and unless requested not to, will write to them outlining the condition, progress etc.
