If you are using Private Healthcare you will need your insurance company to provide you with an authorisation number prior to attending you appointment (this may require you to liaise with you GP in some cases). If you are self funding, you do not need a GP referral to see us.
If you are self-funding for Sports Therapy, Sports Massage or Physiotherapy, payment is due at the time of attendance, and may be made using cash or card. In the case of private or medicolegal insurance work, invoices are normally settled directly by the referring company, although this can occasionally, vary depending on your policy.
Therapeutic Sports Massage
This can offer a wide range of benefits, including;
Reduction in muscle tension, muscular pain and discomfort (useful as part of a regular self maintenance plan, to help combat the repetitive demands of daily life in the 21st Century)
Increased range of motion, leading to enhanced performance in sport and activity.
Decreased muscle stiffness and soreness after exercise or physical activity (helps to enhance recovery)
Reduced recovery time post injury
Increased levels of relaxation and reduction in physical and psychological stress levels, great for complimenting your general well being
Aids sleep quantity and quality.
YOUR PHYSIOTHERAPY or SPORTS THERAPY INITIAL ASSESSMENT
For all self-funding and private health care referrals please allow up to 30 minutes for your initial assessment. During this appointment a thorough history of your symptoms will be taken, followed by a detailed physical examination of the affected area, including carrying out any special tests which may be indicated. Your physiotherapist will then explain their clinical impression of your injury and advise you of the most appropriate treatment plan.
You will also receive your first treatment in this time. Treatment is likely to include a mixture of "hands on" techniques (such as soft tissue release, joint mobilisation and electrotherapy) and home exercises - specifically chosen to compliment the treatment received during sessions and to promote your rehabilitation. Your therapist will happily answer any questions you may have during this assessment.
PHYSIOTHERAPY or SPORTS THERAPY FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS
For follow up sessions please allow up to 30 minutes.
At each follow up session you will have a re-assessment, to ascertain progress made. Your treatment program and home exercises will be altered accordingly, and treatment during your session is again likely to be a combination of techniques, such as those outline previously. Your therapist will happily clarify any details for you, or answer questions throughout this session.
