Physiotherapy

1. Assessment. Your HCPC-registered physiotherapist takes a history and examines movement, strength and function.
2. Diagnosis and plan. The cause is explained in plain language and a treatment plan is agreed.
3. Hands-on treatment. Manual therapy, mobilisation and guided exercise begin in the first session.
4. Rehabilitation. A home programme and follow-up schedule keep progress on track.

You do not need to wait for a referral to see a private physiotherapist; our answer on whether you can self-refer to physiotherapy explains more. If you are claiming through AXA Health, Aviva, WPA or Vitality, check what your policy needs first, as some insurers ask for a GP referral or an authorisation code before your first session.

Post-surgery and injury rehabilitation in Chiswick

After an operation or a significant injury, physiotherapy rebuilds the strength, movement and confidence you need for daily life, work and sport. We provide structured rehabilitation after joint replacement, ligament repair such as ACL reconstruction, and spinal surgery, coordinated with your consultant and progressed at each visit. Bring your discharge letter and any rehabilitation guidelines from your surgeon to your first appointment.

For sports injuries, a rehabilitation programme takes you from pain relief to sport-specific strength and a planned return to training, with Pixformance guided training to check your form. See sports physiotherapy in London and our pages on sports injuries and rehabilitation, and our guide to soft tissue injury healing times.

How to choose a physiotherapist

Physiotherapist is a protected title in the UK, so anyone using it must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and you can check any physio on the HCPC register online. Beyond that, look for enough time to assess you properly, a clear explanation of what is wrong, and a plan that combines hands-on treatment with exercise. Our guide to what a physiotherapist does explains more, and if you are not sure who to see, read physio vs osteopath vs chiropractor.

Physiotherapy for older adults

For older adults, physiotherapy helps with joint pain, stiffness, strength and confidence on your feet. If dizziness or unsteadiness is part of the picture, our vertigo and balance service can help, and our balance exercises for seniors are a good place to start at home.

Home exercise guides

For home programmes, start with our guides to lower back pain exercises, upper back pain between the shoulder blades, posture exercises, hip flexor stretches, shoulder impingement exercises, piriformis syndrome, hip bursitis exercises, golfer's elbow, ankle sprain exercises and Achilles tendinopathy exercises. Runners can also see our guides to runner's knee, shin splints and hamstring strains. For shoulder problems, read our guide to shoulder and arm pain and when physiotherapy helps.

When to get urgent help

Physiotherapy is not an emergency service. Call 999 or go to A&E if back pain comes with pain, weakness or numbness in both legs, loss of feeling around your genitals or bottom, changes in your bladder or bowels, or chest pain, or if it started after a serious accident. Ask for an urgent GP appointment or contact NHS 111 if you feel hot, shivery or generally unwell, or if severe pain starts suddenly or gets worse quickly.
