How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments vary and depend on the conditions and the person being treated. We aim to keep appointments to a minimum. We look to see if treatment is making a change. We may recommend long term maintenance treatments are regular intervals, depending on the individual and their lifestyle, this could range from once a month to once every six months.
Does it hurt?
Some techniques may cause some discomfort during treatment, we of course try to keep this to a minimum. We will tell you what to expect and do let us know if you are in pain. It is possible that you feel a little sore after treatment, this is a healthy and normal reaction.
Do I need to see my GP first?
If privately paying for your treatment, you do not have to see your GP first. However some insurance companies require to you to get referred from your GP first.
How much does treatment cost?
Cost of treatment can be found on our Pricing page.
