Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that helps people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement, exercise, manual therapy, education and advice. Our physiotherapists use evidence-based techniques to help restore function, reduce pain, and prevent future injury.
No, you don't need a GP referral to book an appointment at Rae's Anatomy Physiotherapy. You can self-refer directly by calling us on 07588 468380 or booking online. However, if you're using private health insurance, some providers may require a GP referral.
Initial assessments typically last 60 minutes, return visits are 45 minutes, and follow-up sessions are 30 minutes. This gives us enough time to assess your condition thoroughly, provide treatment, and give you exercises or advice to help between sessions.
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, injury severity, and treatment goals. Many patients see improvement within 3-6 sessions, but some conditions may require more. Your physiotherapist will discuss a treatment plan with you during your initial assessment.
Yes, we work with most major private health insurance providers including Vitality, Aviva, AXA, Cigna, and Healix. We can provide direct billing for approved treatments. Please check with your provider for coverage details and any authorisation requirements.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated. For lower body treatments, shorts are ideal. For upper body issues, a t-shirt or vest top works well. You may need to remove some clothing for assessment and treatment.
