If you’re experiencing pain, recovering from an injury, or simply want to improve your physical well-being, physiotherapy can make a huge difference. Here at our clinic in Woodley, Reading, Berkshire, we believe in making access to effective treatment as straightforward as possible for everyone in our community.
We understand that navigating healthcare can sometimes be a bit confusing, so we want to clarify the different ways you can access our expert physiotherapy services.
NHS GP Physiotherapy Referrals
Did you know you can get physiotherapy through the NHS? If your GP believes physiotherapy would be beneficial for your condition, they can provide you with an NHS GP referral to our clinic. This is a common and accessible route for many individuals seeking treatment.
NHS Physiotherapy Self-Referral
One of the most efficient ways to start your physiotherapy journey with us is through self-referral. This means you don’t need to see your GP first to get an official referral. You can simply contact us directly to book an appointment!
Why self-refer?
- Faster Access: Bypassing the need for a GP appointment can speed up your access to NHS physiotherapy treatment you need.
- Convenience: It offers a streamlined process, allowing you to take control of your healthcare decisions. You do this via our website on our NHS Self Referal page
Super Quick Access by Self-Funding or Private Medical Insurance
If you want to get access to physiotherapy quicker then you have a couple of payment options:
- Self-Funding: You can choose to pay for your sessions directly. This provides complete flexibility and ensures you can get an appointment at your earliest convenience – perhaps today!
- Private Medical Insurance: If you have private medical insurance, your policy may cover physiotherapy treatment. We advise checking with your insurance provider directly to understand your coverage and any requirements they may have (e.g., pre-authorisation). We are happy to help you with the necessary paperwork or information your insurer might need, and deal directly with them for payment.
We are committed to providing high-quality, patient-centred care. Whether you come to us via an NHS GP referral or choose the convenience of self funding, our goal is to help you move better, feel better, and live a fuller life.
