How to initiate your NHS Physiotherapy appointment:
Please fill out the form and submit your request for physio. Forms will be assessed daily by a physio and our receptionist will call you within 3 working days to organise an appointment. The average waiting time for an appointment is approximately 3 weeks. Our great admin team are on hand to help in any way they can so if you cannot make an appointment that has been arranged, please ring us with at least 48 hours’notice so that we can keep our waiting list down and provide everyone with the service they would expect. If you are 16 years old and under, you will need a parent or guardian with you.
The focus for NHS physiotherapy is self-management, advice and exercises first, with“hands-on” treatments, in time, if required. There are a maximum number of sessions available, and patients are usually discharged when it is expected that their condition will continue to improve using the self-management tools provided.
Boathouse Physiotherapy does provide other services privately which can be used to supplement/ whilst on the NHS waiting list or to further your rehabilitation.
Our team is here to assist you in any way we can. Please feel free to contact us.
Many thanks,
