Frequently asked questions

Do you charge a travel fee for Leek?

Travel fees depend on your exact location. We'll confirm any additional costs during your free phone enquiry. Most areas in Leek are covered within our standard service area.

How long is a first visit?

Initial assessments typically last 45–60 minutes. This gives us time to understand your needs, assess your movement, and create a tailored plan.

We offer appointments Monday to Saturday, 8am–7pm. We'll work with you to find a time that suits your routine.

Do I need a GP referral?

No referral needed. You can book directly with us for private physiotherapy. However, if you have a GP referral or consultant letter, please have it available at your first appointment.
