Physiotherapy St Albans and Hatfield

 We pride ourselves in our ability to make a change quickly with our unique and highly effective approach.  This means that you can quickly get to the bottom of whats causing your pain, get treatment for this and leave feeling much better.

We are also honest, so if like the 3% of people that we referred back to their GP, we can't help you immediately we will tell you.  By sending you to the right place to deal with your problem we ensure a speedy recovery.  It wouldn't be right to say 100% of our clients felt better from what we did, but actually our ability to know what we can and can't treat makes sure you are safe and in the right place to recover from your injury.

 The quickest way of booking an appointment if you are happy with the type of service you require or the person who you would like to see is to book online.  This can be done using the link below.

If you would rather speak to someone first or have an special requirements with regards to coming in then you can always
EMAIL US.

If you would like to speak to someone during office hours then you can always give us a call on 0800 0724 012 and we can speak with you.

 So you decide to make the decision of coming to see us, this is what happens in your first session.

In your first session your clinician will greet you and begin by asking what brings you to the clinic.  From here you will begin to go through a detailed case history which doesn't really take long, but is essential to see what we are dealing with.  Once your clinician has taken enough details they will then carry out an examination in all cases, to make sure your symptoms match with any clinical signs that they can use to isolate the cause of the problem.

Before getting on with treatment the clinician will then explain in terms you can understand what the cause of the problem is.

After the examination and reporting process is complete your clinician will carry out treatment to make sure you receive the full service.

Ideally you should come with suitable clothing/underwear so that an accurate diagnosis of the problem can be made.  Usually sports wear such as a pair of shorts and a vest or sports bra are suitable.  We want you to feel comfortable, this is a priority.  If you'd like to bring someone along such as a chaperone then thats fine too.  We are very friendly but we understand that it can be a bit nerve racking going to your first appointment.

If you have any questions then please don't hesitate to contact us directly

Whatever your interest in sport, personal or professional, an injury is frustrating for anyone. Therefore, we pride ourselves on coordinating every aspect of your treatment process, facilitating a prompt return to sport.

Sports injuries are commonly caused by overuse, direct impact or an application of force that is greater than the body part can structurally withstand.

People who need to see a physiotherapist often have injuries, new or old and are frustrated with not being able to get better and back to being pain free.

If this Sounds like you, then you should be thinking about speaking to us...dont you think!?
