- How much does physiotherapy or chiropractic cost near Holborn?
Current prices for initial assessments, follow-ups, focused shockwave and our other treatments are listed on our fees page. The price confirmed at booking applies, and there is no charge for asking us a question first by WhatsApp, WeChat or email.
- Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book a physiotherapy or chiropractic assessment directly, with no GP referral. If you plan to claim on private health insurance, some insurers ask for a GP referral or a pre-authorisation code before you book, so please check with us first.
- How quickly can I be seen if I work or live in Holborn?
We can usually offer an initial assessment within a few days, often sooner, including Saturday and Thursday-evening appointments. Availability varies week to week, so the quickest way to find a slot is to book online or message us on WhatsApp.
- Can I use my private health insurance?
We work with most major UK health insurers and cash plans, but the insurer decides what is covered and whether pre-authorisation is needed. Please check with us before you book: send us your insurer details and pre-authorisation and we will confirm how to arrange your appointment. See insurance for details.
- What happens at a first visit, and which languages do you speak?
Your first appointment is a full assessment: we take a history, examine you, explain what we find and agree a plan with you. Treatment may start at the same visit if it is appropriate. Wear or bring comfortable clothing, and bring any scan reports, letters or insurance details you have. We consult in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Outcomes vary from person to person, and nothing on this page is a diagnosis.
