Physiotherapy

What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy helps restore function and mobility through exercise, massage, and manipulation.

How Physiotherapy Works

Physiotherapy helps detect and treat problems by moving, stretching, observing, and massaging muscles and joints.

What to expect when receiving Physiotherapy

At your appointment

A Physiotherapist will listen to your symptoms and any relevant medical history. They will then observe how you move and use their hands to find areas in the body that are weak, tender, restricted, or strained.

Physiotherapists will observe your movements, provide manual therapy, give general advice, and offer exercises to improve health and mobility.

Your appointment will last 30-60 minutes.

After your appointment

Physiotherapy shouldn’t usually be painful, but it may involve the movement of injured and strained areas of your body. The next day, you may feel muscle soreness or stiffness. Your Physiotherapist will let you know if you’re likely to have any pain and how to manage it.

Risks and complications of Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is generally considered to be a safe treatment. There are minor side effects you may experience, such as:

  • Soreness or pain in the treatment area
  • Headache
  • Fatigue

How to recover following Physiotherapy

After Physiotherapy sessions, you may need to rest the affected area. Discuss your specific recovery with your Physiotherapist.

Payment Options

Medical Insurance

If you are paying for your procedure or treatment with medical insurance, you will need to liaise closely with the insurance provider throughout the process.

​​Before attending your first appointment, you should contact your insurance company to check that that your condition is covered for all stages of treatments.​

You will need to visit your GP and ask them to refer you to The LivingCare Group at Thorpe Park Clinic for a private procedure. Your GP will write a letter of referral and then either you or your GP can contact us to arrange your first appointment.

Self Pay

We understand that immediate access to healthcare is sometimes essential. With our self-pay service, there are no waiting lists. Within 24 hours, you will be offered a consultation date to see a medical professional that is convenient for you. Our expert team can then give you an assessment and treatment within 1 week of your consultation.

Your consultation and any tests, scans or investigations will be charged separately, however all of these costs will be quoted to you before anything commences and you are under no obligation to continue your treatment with us unless you are happy to do so.
