Private Physiotherapy in Birmingham, Gloucester & Leeds

No. You can book directly with us. If you are claiming on private medical insurance, your insurer may ask for a GP referral or a pre-authorisation code first, so check with them before your appointment.

Your first appointment lasts 45 minutes. Your physiotherapist will ask about your symptoms and history, carry out a physical assessment, explain their findings and agree a treatment plan with you. Treatment usually starts in the same session.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing that lets your physiotherapist see and move the area being treated, for example shorts for a knee or hip problem or a vest top for a shoulder.

It depends on the problem and how long you have had it. Your physiotherapist will give you an estimate after your assessment and review your progress at each visit.

A new patient assessment and treatment (45 minutes) is £60, and follow-up sessions (30 minutes) are £45. Home visits start from £85 and online video consultations are £30. Full prices are on our Fees page.

We have clinics serving Gloucester and Cheltenham (in Quedgeley) and Leeds (in Burley, near Headingley), and we offer home visits across Gloucester and Cheltenham, Birmingham and Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton, and Leeds.

A physiotherapist assesses how your muscles, joints and nerves are working, finds what is causing your pain or stiffness, and treats it with hands-on therapy, exercise and advice. Physiotherapy helps with back and neck pain, sports injuries, joint problems, recovery after surgery and neurological conditions such as stroke.

Keep gently moving within what is comfortable, as staying active usually helps more than bed rest. Heat and simple pain relief may ease it. If it is not improving after a few days, see a physiotherapist. Get urgent medical help if you have numbness around your groin, problems controlling your bladder or bowel, or weakness in your legs.

Yes. Physiotherapy for sciatica focuses on easing nerve irritation, improving movement and building strength with targeted exercises, and on helping you stay active while it settles.

A new patient assessment and treatment for knee pain is £60 (45 minutes), and follow-up sessions are £45 (30 minutes). Your physiotherapist will tell you how many sessions they expect you to need after your assessment.

We are recognised by Bupa, AXA Health, Vitality, Aviva, WPA, Healix and Allianz Partners. If your insurer is not listed, contact us and we will check for you.

Contact your insurer first and ask them to authorise physiotherapy. They will give you an authorisation or pre-authorisation code. Then book with us and give us your insurer’s name, your membership number and that code.

Some insurers ask for a GP or specialist referral before they approve physiotherapy, and others let you refer yourself. Your insurer will tell you when you call them for authorisation.

Your insurer decides how many sessions to authorise, and this depends on your policy. If you need more, we can send your insurer an update and they may approve further sessions.

You may have an excess on your policy or an annual limit for therapies. Check this with your insurer before your first appointment so there are no surprises.

Depending on your insurer and policy, we invoice your insurer directly or give you an invoice to claim back. We will confirm which applies when you book.

Shockwave therapy (ESWT) passes sound waves into the tissue through a handheld probe. It is used for long-standing tendon problems and is delivered alongside an exercise programme from your physiotherapist.

It is most often used for plantar fasciitis and heel pain, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis and golfer’s elbow, patellar tendinopathy, outer hip pain (gluteal tendinopathy) and some shoulder tendon problems.

Most people feel some discomfort during treatment. Your physiotherapist will adjust the intensity so it stays tolerable, and the area may feel sore for a day or two afterwards.

A course is often 3 to 6 sessions, usually about a week apart, but your physiotherapist will advise you after your assessment. A package of 3 sessions is £180, saving £30.

No. It is not suitable for everyone, for example during pregnancy or for some people on blood-thinning medication. Your physiotherapist will check your medical history before treatment.

Our physiotherapists use acupuncture and dry needling as one part of your treatment, alongside exercise and hands-on therapy, to help manage pain and muscle tension.

Acupuncture is delivered by physiotherapists who are members of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP).

The needles are very fine. Most people feel a small prick and then a dull ache or tingling, which is normal. Single-use sterile needles are used every time.

An acupuncture treatment session is 45 minutes and costs £60.

Yes. We offer home visit physiotherapy for people who find it hard to travel, including after surgery, a fall, a stroke or a hospital stay.

We cover Gloucester and Cheltenham, Birmingham and Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton, and Leeds. Home visits are 45 minutes from £85; the price may vary with travel, and we confirm it when you book.

Yes. Online video consultations are 45 minutes and cost £30. They suit advice, exercise programmes and follow-ups when you cannot come in.
