Question 1

Where can I see a physio in Nottingham?

Accepted Answer

We have three physiotherapy clinics across Nottingham: Mapperley Park (15 Mapperley Park Drive, NG3 5BX), Beeston (17 Villa Street, NG9 2NY) and Colwick (1 Mile End Road, NG4 2DW). You can book at whichever is most convenient, and if travelling is difficult we also offer home visits across Nottingham.

Question 2

Do I need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist in Nottingham?

Accepted Answer

No. You can book directly with us as a private patient without seeing your GP first. If you plan to claim through private health insurance, we'd recommend checking with your insurer beforehand, as some policies require a referral or an authorisation number before your first appointment.

Question 3

How quickly can I get a physio appointment in Nottingham?

Accepted Answer

Usually the same day. We hold appointments open across our three Nottingham clinics rather than running a waiting list, so in most cases you can be assessed and start treatment on the day you contact us. Call 0115 969 1528 or book online to see what's available today.

Question 4

Which of your Nottingham clinics should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Choose whichever is easiest for you to reach. Physiotherapy, osteopathy and sports massage are available at all three clinics, so the standard of care and the core treatment options are the same wherever you book. Mapperley Park suits patients travelling from Mapperley, Sherwood, Carrington and Arnold; Beeston suits Beeston, Chilwell, Bramcote, Stapleford and Wollaton; Colwick suits Colwick, Netherfield, Carlton, Gedling and West Bridgford.

Question 5

Are your physiotherapists HCPC registered?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every member of our team is a physiotherapist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). HCPC registration is the legal requirement for anyone practising as a physiotherapist in the UK, and you can check any of our clinicians on the public HCPC register.

Question 6

What's the difference between physiotherapy and osteopathy — which do I need?

Accepted Answer

Both treat pain and problems affecting muscles and joints, but they take slightly different approaches: physiotherapy tends to combine hands-on treatment with rehabilitation and exercise, while osteopathy focuses more on manual techniques to improve movement and function. In practice the best choice depends on your symptoms and preferences, so if you're unsure, book a physiotherapy assessment or call us and we'll point you to the right clinician.

Question 7

Do you offer home visits across Nottingham?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If getting to a clinic is difficult — because of mobility, recovery from surgery, or work and family commitments — one of our experienced physiotherapists can treat you at home. We cover approximately five miles around each of our Mapperley Park, Beeston and Colwick clinics, which takes in most of Nottingham and the surrounding suburbs. Call us with your postcode and we'll confirm we can reach you.

Question 8

Do you have Saturday or evening physio appointments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Saturday appointments are available at all three of our Nottingham clinics, and evening appointments are offered during the week subject to clinician availability. You'll see live evening slots on our online booking platform, or you can call the clinic directly and we'll find a time that works around your job.

Question 9

What happens at my first physio appointment?

Accepted Answer

Your first appointment is a full assessment. We'll ask about your symptoms, how the problem started, your medical history and what you want to get back to, then examine the affected area and assess your movement and strength. We'll explain what we've found, agree a treatment plan with you, and begin treatment in that same visit wherever it's appropriate.

Question 10

Do you offer acupuncture and sports massage?

Accepted Answer

Sports massage is available at all three of our Nottingham clinics, alongside physiotherapy and osteopathy. Acupuncture is offered by appropriately qualified therapists and depends on availability at each location, so please contact the clinic you'd like to visit and we'll tell you what can be arranged. You don't need to be an athlete to benefit from sports massage — we tailor each session to your symptoms and activity levels.

Question 11

What conditions do you treat at your Nottingham clinics?

Accepted Answer

We treat problems affecting muscles, joints and nerves, including back pain, neck pain, sciatica, shoulder pain, knee and hip pain, ankle injuries, sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, arthritis-related pain and posture or desk-related discomfort. If you're not sure whether we can help, call us and describe your symptoms and we'll tell you honestly.

Question 12

Do you accept private health insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We're registered with the major private health insurers, including BUPA and AXA PPP, and we also welcome direct referrals from employers and occupational health. Please check your level of cover, excess and whether you need pre-authorisation before booking, and bring your membership or claim details to your appointment.

Question 13

What should I wear and bring to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Please wear comfortable clothing you can move in and that allows us to see the affected area — shorts or a vest top are useful depending on what we're assessing. Bring details of any medication you're taking, plus any scan results, referral letters or notes from previous treatment.

Question 14

How do I book physio in Nottingham?

Accepted Answer

You can book online using the "Book Now" button, call us on 0115 969 1528, or email physiodirect@gmail.com. Select your treatment and preferred clinic, and if you're not sure which appointment type you need, get in touch and we'll help you choose.
