What to expect at your appointment

Welcome to Sandy Hill Physiotherapy! Before your appointment, it might be sensible to put on some clothing that makes it easier for our physiotherapist to assess you (e.g. some shorts if it’s your knee or ankle!). If you’re driving, please park up in one of the spaces on-site – there’s plenty of room.

Let yourself in the front door, we have wheelchair access if needed. One of our reception team is likely to greet you and will invite you to take a seat in our cosy waiting area. If reception is unattended, simply grab a chair; your Physiotherapist knows you are here and will be with you shortly.

During your appointment, you can expect to receive a comprehensive, thorough assessment of your problem. We listen actively to your concerns and work collaboratively with you to make a plan for how to move forward. Your bespoke management plan could include; expert advice, exercise programme prescription, massage, acupuncture, joint mobilisations and much, much more!

Fundamentally, our main aim is to guide you through overcoming your injury and/or pain and getting you back to the things that you love doing – whether that be scooping your grandchild up to give them a hug or completing that Iron Man event later in the year! Whatever your goal, Sandy Hill Physiotherapy is here to help.
