Physiotherapy Assessments and Treatments at Ambulant Physiotherapy:

Your first appointment:

· This includes an initial assessment, which allows you to inform the physiotherapist of your existing problem, and discuss ways in which your physiotherapist can help you. This assessment also allows the physiotherapist to determine what treatment would be best for you. Following your initial assessment your physiotherapist will give you your first session of treatment. This initial appointment will last up to one hour.

Your follow-up appointments:

· Each follow-up treatment session will also last up to an hour, and this will consist of treatment only. However, you can be re-assessed at any time or request an initial assessment on a different area of your body at any time.

The treatment involved:

· Your physiotherapist will work to treat the underlying cause of your problem, and not just the initial symptoms. They will not only work on correcting your problems; but will provide you with information on your injuries, treat the necessary areas, and teach you specific exercises that will help you to solve the problem and prevent reoccurrence. Ambulant Physiotherapy has its own gym, and therefore your physiotherapist will be able to create and demonstrate a customized exercise programme specifically to aid your rehabilitation needs. The gym includes a running machine, a stepper, a bike, gym balls and a variety of weights. We also have access to a local hydro pool.

· Your physiotherapist can treat you using a variety of methods:

o Acupuncture

o Electrotherapy

o Traction

o Massage

o Mobilisation

o Ultrasound

o Exercise

The cost of treatment:

· Your initial assessment is charged at £36. Each follow-up appointment is charged at £30.

· Home visits are available in the Preston area charged at £45.

· Health insurance and private medical insurance claims are welcome.
