Physiotherapy
The physiotherapy team will assess, diagnose and provide a treatment plan for you. Our physiotherapists are registered with the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and Health and Care Professions Council.
​
Your physio may recommend that you you see one of our SEM consultants, pain consultant or dietitian if needed. They can also liaise with your GP, other consultants, coaches and personal trainers as needed. This is always done with your consent.
​
You can refer yourself to us or be referred by your general practitioner, physiotherapist or consultant. We are recognised by all major health insurance companies but you don’t have to be insured to come to us.
