General Physiotherapy
Q: What does a physiotherapist do?
A physiotherapist helps people recover from pain, injury, or movement problems using exercise, hands-on treatment, and lifestyle advice.
Q: Do I need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist?
No — you can book directly without a referral. This means faster access to treatment and quicker recovery.

Physiotherapy can treat back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, arthritis, post-surgery rehabilitation, sciatica, joint problems, and more. If you’re not sure whether physiotherapy is right for you, book a consultation to discuss your symptoms.
