Dive into our selection of the most commonly asked questions about our services and physiotherapy in general. ##### What should I expect from a physiotherapy session? Your physiotherapist will begin with a full assessment and physical  examination to establish the cause and nature of your condition. After this, the physiotherapist will look at the results and consider  your past medical history to determine, in conjunction with your wishes,  what treatment is most fitting for your needs and create a personalised  treatment plan. Here at CK Physiotherapy we use different treatment methods in order to  deal with a wide range of injuries. We pride ourselves on using ‘hands  on’ treatment and you will not just be given a sheet of exercises. Depending on the nature and severity of your injury, you may require: - Manipulation or mobilisation of joints - Soft tissue massage - [Electrotherapy](https://ckphysio.co.uk/treatments/electrotherapy) (Laser, Ultrasound, Interferential, Short Wave Diathermy) - Shockwave therapy - Acupuncture - Exercise therapy (Stretching and strengthening,Core stability training) - Heat or cold therapy - Patient education, home exercises - Biomechanical analysis ##### Do I need a referral to attend? No, you can self-refer for physiotherapy if you feel you have a problem we can help with. If your GP or Consultant has requested physiotherapy we would be happy to provide that service for you; please bring a copy of the referral if you have one. If you use private medical insurance, you may need a GP’s referral, depending on your insurer’s requirements. You should always check with your insurance company before attending your first session. ##### How many physiotherapy sessions will I need? Physiotherapy is not an exact science, as people respond differently, but once you have had your assessment, your Physiotherapist will be able to give you a rough guide to the number of treatments you will need and We will discuss your goals and a treatment plan with you. ##### What should I wear to my appointment? Attending a Physiotherapy appointment for the first time can be apprehensive. People often wonder what they should wear. To carry out an assessment, the Physiotherapist will ask to see the area that is giving you the problem. This will allow the Physiotherapist to look for bruising, swelling, and any deformities. The treatment may also consist of hands-on treatment, which will require access to the problem area. However, if you are not comfortable with this, it may be possible to assess you through your clothes. The following should help you to decide what to wear to your appointment: - Upper body, neck, or shoulder injuries – you will be asked to remove your top, but for females, a strapped top, tank top, or vest will work. - Lower back – you will be asked to remove your top to assess and treat your spine, but females can roll their top up and tuck it under the bra strap. Your therapist may also need access to the hip/thigh region - Hip and groin injuries – loose shorts or leggings. - Knee, ankle, or foot injuries – loose shorts or leggings that can roll up past the knees. At no point will you ever be asked to remove your underwear. If you need to change out of work clothes into shorts, etc., the therapist will leave the room and give you time to get changed. ##### How do I pay for my session? We ask that you pay for your treatment at each visit unless we are billing your insurance company directly. We accept cash, cheques, debits, and credit cards. Alternatively, you can also pay by bacs transfer. ##### Is Parking Available? Street parking is available. There is permit parking from 9-10am and 2-3pm. If you are parking during the permit times bring your car registration details and your therapist will be able to do a visitor permit for you. ![pattern](https://ckphysio.co.uk/hubfs/CK%20physio%20-%202023/Images/testimonial-section-pattern.svg) ###### Your Success Speaks Volumes ## The Power of Personal Physiotherapy Experiences Our patients' success stories are our biggest pride and continuous motivation. We invite you to read through some of these inspiring testimonials. D ##### Daniel Evans ![quote](https://ckphysio.co.uk/hubfs/CK%20physio%20-%202023/Images/Quote.svg) The therapist – my guide through this mental gym – is like the personal trainer for my brain. They're not there to judge or tell me what to do; they just help me navigate the twists and turns of life. It's like having a Google Maps for my feelings, and we all know how lost I can get! R ##### Ryan Mitchell ![quote](https://ckphysio.co.uk/hubfs/CK%20physio%20-%202023/Images/Quote.svg) You see, I used to think therapy was something only for people dealing with major life crises or folks with more issues than a computer manual. Little did I know, therapy is like a universal toolkit for the mind – and we dummies need tools too! B ##### Benjamin Hayes ![quote](https://ckphysio.co.uk/hubfs/CK%20physio%20-%202023/Images/Quote.svg) One thing that surprised me was how therapy isn't just for the big stuff. Sure, they're there for the heavy-duty emotions, but also for the everyday struggles. Stress at work, dealing with difficult people, or even just figuring out why I get anxious before meeting new people – it's all fair game. ![appointmnt- pattern](https://ckphysio.co.uk/hubfs/CK%20physio%20-%202023/Images/appointmnt-%20pattern.svg) ![physiotherapist-performing-mobility-exercises-leg-patient](https://ckphysio.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/CK%20physio%20-%202023/Images/physiotherapist-performing-mobility-exercises-leg-patient.png?width=709&height=435&name=physiotherapist-performing-mobility-exercises-leg-patient.png) ![tw-col-s-1](https://ckphysio.co.uk/hubfs/CK%20physio%20-%202023/Images/tw-col-s-1.svg) ![tw-col-s-2](https://ckphysio.co.uk/hubfs/CK%20physio%20-%202023/Images/tw-col-s-2.svg) ![two-col-s-4](https://ckphysio.co.uk/hubfs/CK%20physio%20-%202023/Images/two-col-s-4.svg) ![tw-col-s-3](https://ckphysio.co.uk/hubfs/CK%20physio%20-%202023/Images/tw-col-s-3.svg) ###### Ready for a healthier You? ## Book Your Consultation Today [Start Your Health Journey](https://ckphysio.co.uk/bookings) ###### Unlock More Health Insights ## Dive Into Our Blog 52 min ##### Rotator cuff injury & shoulder ...
