This varies depending on the condition and how long you've had it. Many of my clients see meaningful progress within 3–6 sessions. I'll give you a realistic picture at your first appointment.

No. You can book directly without a referral. If you're using private health insurance, check with your provider first as some require GP authorisation.

Yes — I accept Bupa, AXA, Vitality, WPA, CIGNA, Nuffield, and most major insurers. Contact your insurer before your first appointment to confirm your cover.

Comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated. For hip or knee issues, shorts are ideal. For shoulder or upper back problems, a vest or loose top works well.

Initial appointments and more complex cases are best suited to 45 minutes. The 30-minute option is available for straightforward follow-up sessions once a diagnosis and plan are in place.

Assessment — Your first session begins with a thorough assessment. I'll ask about your symptoms, history, and what you want to get back to doing. Nothing is rushed. Diagnosis — You'll leave with a clear understanding of what's causing your pain and why — explained in plain language, not clinical jargon. Treatment — Hands-on treatment begins in the same session. This may include manual therapy, soft tissue work, joint mobilisation, or guided movement. Your Recovery Plan — Every session ends with a personalised plan — specific exercises and clear next steps so you know exactly what to do between appointments.
