How to pay less
- Ask your GP or local physiotherapy self-referral service whether NHS physiotherapy is available
- Check whether private medical insurance covers physiotherapy before you pay yourself
- Do the home exercises the physiotherapist sets so you need fewer follow-up sessions
Before you book
- Check the physiotherapist is registered with the HCPC, which protects the title UK-wide
- Bring scan results, letters and a list of medicines to the first physiotherapy session
- Wear loose clothing so the physiotherapist can see and move the painful area
- Ask how many physiotherapy sessions are likely and what each one costs
