If you’re considering physiotherapy in Haywards Heath, you may have a few questions before getting started. Here are some of the most common ones.
- Do I need a physiotherapist, chiropractor or osteopath?
-
We’ll guide you. Based on your symptoms and assessment, we’ll recommend the most appropriate treatment, whether that’s physiotherapy, chiropractic or osteopathy, to ensure you get the best results.
- What happens at my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your first appointment lasts 45 minutes. We carry out a detailed assessment, explain what’s causing your symptoms, and start treatment straight away. You’ll leave with a clear plan and practical steps to begin your recovery.

-
This depends on your condition and how long you’ve had it. After your first appointment, we’ll give you a clear plan so you know what to expect.

- Do I need a GP referral for physiotherapy?

We ask all patients to pay on the day, and we’ll give you an invoice to claim the cost back from your insurer.
- What should I wear to my appointment?
-
Wear comfortable clothing that lets your physiotherapist see and move the area being treated, such as shorts for a knee or hip problem, or a vest top for a shoulder or neck problem.
