Questions
Common questions
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. You can book directly with us. If you have reports, scans or prescriptions, please bring them to your first visit.
What happens at the first appointment?
We ask about your problem, health history and goals, examine how you move, explain what we find and agree a plan with you. Treatment usually starts the same day.
Do I need to be able to swim for aquatic therapy?
No. Exercises are done at a comfortable depth, with your physiotherapist beside you in the water.
Do you treat children?
Yes. We see babies, children and teenagers. A parent or guardian stays with the child during every session.
