Find physiotherapy near my location

To detect and treat physical problems, a visit to a nearby physiotherapist is a first step in the right direction. He or she can also help you heal sports injuries and other muscle problems. As such, a physiotherapist is an expert in the posture and movement of the human body. If you suffer from loss of strength, swelling of joints, balance disorders or aching muscles and tendons, the physiotherapist will know what to do to cure your symptoms.

The first visit to the local physiotherapist

During your first visit to a physiotherapist, you will be asked to explain as well as possible what complaints you have and since when you have had them. A good physiotherapist will also ask you about your personal goals. This way, your local physiotherapist will gain insight into your problems and together with you draw up a plan to remedy your complaints. The therapist will examine which part of your body is causing you problems to find out whether you may need to change your posture to prevent the existing problems and complaints.

Will physiotherapy be reimbursed?

Many people do not know whether their local physiotherapist will be reimbursed by the NHS. Unfortunately, this causes some people to walk around with their symptoms for too long. Physiotherapy is reimbursed by the NHS, but therefore you usually need a referral from your GP. There is also the option of private physiotherapy. This is not for free, but most of the time the waiting lists are shorter and you can get help faster. For more information on the cost of physiotherapy we recommend that you visit the website of the NHS.

What types of physiotherapy treatments are there?

The local physiotherapist can decide, after examining your symptoms, which type of therapy is best for your needs. For example, he may recommend certain massage treatments in order to relieve the painful body part. Also, exercise therapy in which you do certain exercises with the painful joint several times is one of the possibilities. The therapist will always explain to you exactly which treatment is best for you and why. This may also involve cooperation with other specialists such as a chiropractor.
