Frequently asked questions
What will happen during my first session?
The first consultation will allow me to fully understand your problem.
I will first ask you about any past issues, your general health and any medication you may be taking. All this information will be used to establish a diagnosis and provide you with a treatment plan specifically designed for you.
I will then examine the problem area and perform tests to uncover the causes of your problem.
When I have all the information I need, I will explain your diagnosis to you and how I can help you. The most important thing for me is to be aware of your expectations.
We are then ready to start treatment.

Can you invoice my insurance company directly?
Unfortunately, I do not invoice insurances. You will need to settle your fees on the day of treatment. I will give you an itemised invoice which you can send to your insurer for re-imbursement. You will need to check the procedure for covering your physiotherapy treatment with your insurer before you come for treatment..
