What to Expect at Your First Visit

We get asked all the time: 'What actually happens when I come in?' Here's the full picture.

Before You Arrive

Book online or by phone – most patients are seen the same week, often the same day. You’ll get a confirmation email with the clinic address, parking info and a digital intake form. Wear comfortable clothing you can move in.

The First Appointment (60 minutes)

  1. Conversation (10–15 min) – Your physiotherapist will go through your history.
  2. Physical assessment (20 min) – We watch you move, test the relevant joints, muscles and nerves, and identify what’s driving the problem.
  3. Treatment (15–20 min) – Most patients have hands-on treatment on the first visit, alongside an explanation of the rehab exercises you’ll start with at home.
  4. Plan (5 min) – We agree what the next steps are.

Follow-Up Appointments (30 minutes)

Reviewing how you’ve responded, advancing or modifying the plan, and continuing with manual and exercise-based treatment.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Most straightforward MSK presentations resolve in 4–6 sessions. More complex or chronic problems take longer. We re-assess regularly and discharge you the moment you no longer need us.

Do I Need a GP Referral?

No, you can self-refer. Some private medical insurance policies do require a GP referral first – check with your insurer before booking.
