Physiotherapy is a medically recognised treatment with physiotherapists working closely with GPs and Consultants. As a physiotherapist I have developed additional skills in areas such as acupuncture, electotherapy and hydrotherapy. For further details please refer to the treatments page.

If you wish to be seen privately, all you need to do is to contact us and we will be able to book you in at a time that is convenient to you. If you are claiming from a health insurance company for the cost of your treatment, you may need to have a referral from your doctor. Please check with your insurance company first.

Following your initial assessment the physiotherapist will be able to advise you as to the treamtent plan that will be specific to you and your condition. Generally the average number of treatment sessions can be between 4 and 8. The physiotherapist can liase with your GP or refer onto further consultants if required.

Sheli Sacker Physiotherapy is registered for physiotherapy with all major private health insurers in the UK. It is your responsibility to seek authorisation from your insurance company prior to making an appointment. We are able to invoice directly to some of the major insurers on your behalf. The fees when invoiced directly to insurers may vary from our standard fees. You may choose to pay at the time of your appointment and take responsibility for your own claim process. Please be aware that your insurance may not cover the full cost of your invoice and you remain liable for all costs associated with your treatment.

All assessments and treatments will be performed by a qualified, registered and insured therapist who will practice within the defined scope of practice as per the relevant governing bodies in the United Kingdom. You must advise your therapist of any factor that may affect your treatment or diagnosis. Following examination, an explanation of the therapist’s opinion and proposed treatment will be provided. It is important that you fully understand the diagnosis, recommendations, procedures and treatment techniques that may be involved, as well as any likely effects. Your therapist should make every effort to ensure you do, but if you are in doubt, please ask for further information. With certain conditions, a degree of undress may be required and this will be explained at the time by the therapist. You are entitled to be accompanied during your treatment if you wish.

Payment is required at the time of your appointment unless you have Private Medical Insurance and are able to provide the required details of your Private Insurer. Receipts will be provided if necessary.
