Frequently asked questions
Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist?
You can contact me directly without a referral. If you are already under a doctor's care, please bring their notes. If I find any sign that needs a medical opinion or tests, I will tell you clearly and refer you to the right doctor.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
It depends on your problem, how long you have had it and how regularly you do your home exercises. A recent strain may need 3 to 6 sessions, while long term pain or rehab after surgery or a stroke needs more. I give you an honest estimate at the first visit and review it as you improve.
Is physiotherapy painful?
Physiotherapy should not be very painful. Some exercises and stretches can feel uncomfortable at first, and you may feel a little sore after the first few sessions, which usually settles within a day. I always explain what I am doing and adjust treatment to what you can manage.
What should I do in a medical emergency?
This website and my phone line are not for emergencies. If you have chest pain, signs of a stroke such as face drooping or arm weakness, a serious injury, or severe breathlessness, call 108 or go to the nearest hospital immediately.
