Frequently Asked Questions

An initial consultation involves our Chartered Physiotherapist asking a series of questions to learn about your problem. Based on these findings, our Physiotherapist will then ask you to perform certain movements to further diagnose the source and cause of your problem. During the initial assessment, there is also time for some hands-on treatment to relieve your pain. You will also be prescribed some home exercises and given advice on how you can help speed up your recovery.

We advise that you wear comfortable and loose-fitting clothes to your appointment. If your area of injury is in the lower limbs we recommend that you bring a pair of shorts, we have facilities for you to change where needed. If you have X-ray or MRI results it is a good idea to bring these so we can take a copy with your permission.

This very much depends on the type, duration and severity of your injury. At the end of your first appointment, our Chartered Physiotherapists will discuss with you the estimated number of treatments required for your injury. Every patient is different so healing times vary, we will reassess your progress at each visit. Of course, it is always up to you whether you would like to continue with treatment.

No, a doctor’s referral is not necessary – you are free to contact us directly whenever you need an appointment.

This depends on your individual health insurance policy. All our Physiotherapists are Chartered, which means they are recognised by all major health insurers. This means you can often claim back some of your treatment costs if you have private health insurance. Click here for further details.

We accept cash and credit card payments at JT Physiotherapy. Payment must be made after each appointment and receipts are always provided.

We have established close relationships with local G.P’s, Consultants & Specialists so we can arrange a referral for you if you need one. We will help you decide the best course of action and advise you on possible outcomes etc. We can also advise you if you need referral for X-ray, MRI, Blood Tests etc.
