Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take to feel better?
Most clients experience a noticeable reduction in pain after 1 – 2 sessions. Complete rehabilitation typically takes 6–12 weeks, depending on your injury and how closely you follow your exercise plan.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No—most patients self-refer. If you’re using insurance, check your policy first. If you have complex medical issues, we may liaise with your GP or surgeon.
What should I wear?
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that allow for easy movement (e.g., shorts or leggings and a t-shirt). You’ll need enough room for us to examine joints and muscles properly.
Can I claim via insurance?
Yes—please call us on 07385 909 397 before booking if you plan to use private medical insurance. We’ll guide you through the process to ensure coverage.
