TAKE THE FIRST STEPS TO RECOVERY
MkV PHYSIOTHERAPY FAQs
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR APPOINTMENT
At your initial consultation, your physiotherapist will review your medical forms to guide a detailed discussion. This includes a subjective assessment, where you can share your concerns and treatment goals. A physical examination will be conducted, which may require the removal of some clothing to assess movement effectively. Your physiotherapist will provide a comprehensive evaluation of their findings, and together, you will develop a treatment plan to support your recovery.
How much will my treatment cost?
Physiotherapy appointments are £60 for the initial assessment (45 mins) and £48 for follow up treatments (30 mins).
Vestibular treatments are £65 (1 hour).
Other treatment options and their costs will be discussed after the initial assessment.
How many sessions will I need?
This very much depends on your problem, how long you have had it and how severe it is. Once we have performed an assessment, we will be able to give you a treatment plan.
Our average number of treatments is 4. You may only need a one off session giving you an exercise programme that you can carry out independently. People rarely need more than 8 sessions.
Do I need referral from my doctor?
No. We are trained to perform our own musculosekeletal assessments. If we are concerned about any particular issue we can, with your permission liaise with your doctor.
However, insurance companies do sometimes require a doctor’s referral if you are going to claim treatment fees. Many insurance companies now offer a telephone triage service to authorise treatment. You need to check your individual policy.
Will I receive treatment during my first consultation?
Usually, yes. A 45 minute appointment allows for a discussion about you and your presenting problem, a physical examination, a discussion around treatment options, treatment plan and the goals you want to achieve. Initial treatment is started and self help exercises/advice is given.
Are you able to treat me/my problem?
MkV Physiotherapy Clinic staffed by very experienced physiotherapists, we are therefore able to treat most musculoskeletal problems. We have our own specialities and will suggest passing you over to a colleague if we feel you would benefit more from their particular expertise.
If we do not feel you will gain benefit from treatment we will be honest with you and give you advice on what you should do next.
What is the cancellation policy?
We have a cancellation policy for all appointments, kindly requesting at least 24hrs notice, otherwise full fees will be charged.
What 'Infection Control Measures' do you have in place?
Infection control measures continue to be carefully adhered to post COVID. Couches are covered with wipeable covers and a disinfectant used between each patient. Pillows are plastic covered and disposable paper used for each patient. Face masks are available for you and your therapist at your request.
