Everything You Need to Know
What to Expect at Your First Physiotherapy Appointment
Your initial assessment is thorough and unhurried. We do not use it to sell you a package — we use it to understand your problem properly before recommending anything.
Full subjective history
We start by understanding your symptoms in detail — when they began, how they’ve changed, what makes them better or worse, your relevant medical history and what you want to get back to doing. This conversation shapes everything that follows.
Physical assessment
Luize carries out a structured physical examination — assessing movement quality, joint range, muscle strength, flexibility and neurological function. Where relevant, we use specific functional tests to reproduce and identify the source of your symptoms.
Clear diagnosis and treatment plan
You’ll receive a clear explanation of our findings — what’s causing your symptoms, why conservative treatment is appropriate and what a realistic recovery looks like. We set defined goals and give you a timeline, not a vague ‘let’s see how it goes’.
First Treatment
In most cases, treatment begins at your first appointment. You’ll also leave with a clear home exercise programme — because meaningful recovery happens between sessions as well as during them.

Progressive, structured programmes to rebuild strength and movement control
Neuromuscular re-education

The Advantage of a Multi-Disciplinary Clinic
Many physiotherapy clinics operate in isolation. At Harborne, your physiotherapist works alongside our chiropractors, sports massage therapists and shockwave therapy specialists every day. That means:
- Complex or overlapping conditions get a second clinical perspective without you needing a separate referral
- Treatment can be combined where clinically appropriate — for example, sports massage alongside physiotherapy rehabilitation for a stubborn soft tissue injury
- If shockwave therapy would accelerate your recovery, we can integrate it into your plan immediately
- You are never passed between clinics or lost in a referral pathway

Don't Wait for an NHS Referral
Health Insurance
NHS physiotherapy waiting times in Birmingham can stretch to several months. In that time, a musculoskeletal problem that could have been resolved quickly can become chronic, more complex and harder to treat.
At Harborne Chiropractic Clinic, you can book a physiotherapy assessment within days — no GP referral required. If you have private health insurance, we accept BUPA, AXA Health and Aviva. Self-pay pricing is transparent and straightforward.
