About the treatment
What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is different from booking a general massage. A physiotherapist first builds a picture of the problem through questions and movement or strength checks. Treatment may include hands-on techniques, advice and exercises intended to help you manage symptoms and improve function over time.
What happens in a session
- A detailed first consultation covering symptoms and medical history
- Relevant movement, mobility or strength assessment
- A clear explanation of findings and agreed goals
- Hands-on treatment, exercises or self-management advice where appropriate
Choosing your appointment length
Physiotherapy has a 60-minute first consultation and treatment. Ongoing appointments are available in 30 or 60 minutes, depending on how much reassessment, treatment and exercise progression is needed.

Your comfort comes first
Every session should be adapted to you. Share relevant health information, say what you want from the appointment and speak up about pressure or positioning at any point.
Please note: Urgent or severe symptoms may require medical care rather than a routine physiotherapy appointment. Follow emergency or NHS guidance when appropriate.

Physiotherapy questions
What happens at a first physiotherapy appointment?
The physiotherapist asks about your symptoms and medical history, assesses relevant movement or strength, explains their findings and agrees a treatment plan with you.
What should I wear?
Choose comfortable clothing that allows the relevant area to move and be examined. The provider can advise if you are unsure.
How many appointments will I need?
That depends on the problem, your goals and how you respond. The physiotherapist should review progress and explain whether further sessions are likely to help.
How is physiotherapy different from massage?
Physiotherapy is a clinical, assessment-led service that may combine hands-on treatment with exercise and self-management advice. Massage is primarily a hands-on treatment.
How long is a physiotherapy appointment?
The first physiotherapy consultation and treatment is 60 minutes. Ongoing physiotherapy appointments are available for 30 or 60 minutes. A longer follow-up provides more time for the same physiotherapy assessment, treatment and exercise plan; it does not add another service.
