For more complex conditions or multiple injuries longer appointments of an hour can be booked.

The physiotherapist will need to see the areas that are causing you pain. This means you might have to remove some of your clothing. It’s easier if you have some comfortable clothes that offer a clear view of the affected area, such as a loose T-shirt if the problem is in your neck, shoulders or arms or shorts for lower back or leg pain.
