No — you can book directly with us without a referral. We are a self-referral practice, which means you can get the help you need without waiting for a GP appointment first.

This varies depending on your condition and your goals, and we'll give you an honest picture at your initial assessment. Many clients see meaningful progress within three to six sessions. We'll always discuss the plan with you and review it as you progress.

Your initial consultation will include a thorough assessment, a tailored treatment plan that includes therapy, a customised exercise plan, and education.   

Follow up consultations are 30 minutes and are booked as necessary.

Yes — we work with people at all levels of activity, from recreational exercisers to competitive athletes. Whether you're managing a tendinopathy, recovering from a sprain, or returning to sport after surgery, we can help.

Wear or bring comfortable clothing that allows access to the area being treated. If you have any relevant scans, letters, or reports, it's helpful to bring those along — though not essential.

If you're living with pain, stiffness, reduced function, or recovering from an injury or operation, physiotherapy is very likely to help. If you're unsure, just get in touch — a brief conversation is often enough to work out the best starting point.
