Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession focused on restoring and improving movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness, or disability.

Our York-based physiotherapists use a combination of hands-on treatment, exercise, and education to help you achieve your goals and get back to the activities you love.

We treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries, including but not limited to:

Sports injuries (e.g., sprains, strains), Joint pain (e.g., arthritis, shoulder pain, knee pain, Back and neck pain), Post-surgical rehabilitation, Postural issues, chronic pain and Rehabilitation for certain neurological conditions.

You do not need a referral from a doctor to book a private physiotherapy appointment. However, if you are planning to claim the cost through your health insurance, your provider may require a referral. We recommend checking with your insurance company beforehand.

Your first visit is an initial assessment. Your physiotherapist will start by taking a detailed history of your condition and lifestyle. We will then perform a physical examination. Based on our findings, we will provide a diagnosis, explain your condition, and create goals goals-oriented treatment plan to get you back to your best.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for movement. Depending on the area being treated, your physiotherapist may need to assess your skin to perform hands-on treatment. For example, if you have a knee issue, it's helpful to wear shorts. For a shoulder or neck problem, a vest top is often suitable.

Physiotherapy should not be highly painful, but you may experience some mild discomfort or soreness, especially if we are working on a stiff joint or an injured muscle. Our goal is to work with you to find the most effective and comfortable treatment. We will communicate throughout the treatment to ensure this.

Yes, we are a registered provider with certain health insurance companies. Please bring your policy number and any authorisation codes to your first appointment. It is your responsibility to confirm your coverage and any policy excesses with your insurance provider prior to your visit. See more here
