FAQ's, Fees & Links...

What Should I wear?

As with any medical examination, you may be asked to dress down to your underwear, so please wear something you are comfortable in. 

Can i bring a friend or a relative?

Yes - if you wish, you can have someone present throughout your consultation and treatment.

does it hurt?

Some soft tissue treatment may cause discomfort during treatment. We will tell you what to expect, and will want you to let me know if you are in pain. You may feel a little stiff or sore after treatment for up to 36-48 hours. This is a normal, healthy response to the treatment.

do i need to see my doctor first?

You do not need to see your GP first if you are paying for your own treatment. However, some health insurance companies require you to see a doctor first.

how many treatments will i need?

The number of treatments you need depends on the condition of the patient. We aim to keep your appointments to a minimum. We will be able to tell you within a short period of time whether we can treat you or if we need to refer you to someone else.
