In the room

What happens in a session.

  1. The conversation

    What physiotherapists call the subjective examination. We discuss what has brought you to see me, and I take a detailed history.

  2. The examination

    A comprehensive physical assessment to identify the cause, or causes, of your issue.

  3. Diagnosis and treatment

    Hands-on treatment and exercise prescription based on your diagnosis and evidence-based practice.

  4. Referral, if needed

    If appropriate, I may refer you to your GP or a specialist consultant for a second opinion or further assessment.

Private medical insurance

Bupa patients: please provide your membership number and authorisation code before your appointment. Do check whether your policy carries an excess, as any shortfall in fees is the patient's responsibility.

For all other insurers, I will provide a receipt you can claim back. See the Terms & Conditions.

Cancellation policy

I operate a 24-hour cancellation policy. As a busy physiotherapist I usually have a waiting list, so with more than 24 hours' notice I can normally fill your slot, which means you will not be charged. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice are subject to the full fee.

He takes the time to listen carefully, understand the problem and explain the treatment clearly. His kind, reassuring manner immediately puts you at ease.
