What happens when you sign up for physiotherapy?

  1. After an introductory tour of the Centre, or after you request physiotherapy if you are already attending the Centre, you will be placed on a waiting list (currently 6 – 8 weeks but may vary).
  2. A physiotherapist will contact you to arrange a time for you to visit the Centre for a Physiotherapy Assessment.
  3. You will have a one-to-one assessment with one of our specialist physiotherapists. This will usually take up to an hour and gives you the opportunity to discuss your symptoms, any questions or concerns you may have and what you want to achieve.
  4. Your physiotherapist will then draw up a personalised plan for you.
  5. The physiotherapist will discuss ongoing treatments suitable for you and any classes they recommend.
  6. You continue your exercise programme.
  7. Our physiotherapy team will monitor your progress and will continue to provide advice and help.
