The number of sessions that you will require is dependent on many factors. These factors include the nature of your condition, the complexity of your condition, the length of time you have had the condition, your age and many more. It is often very difficult to advise how many appointments you will need before assessing you. Your physiotherapist will be able to advise you on the number of sessions required at the initial assessment.

Musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy assessments are 30 minutes. Neurological, paediatric and other physiotherapy assessments are normally up to 60 minutes, depending how complex the health condition. For musculoskeletal and neurological physiotherapy/hydrotherapy treatment the normal session length is 30 minutes. Session length can be increased to one hour. The length of treatment sessions can be increased if required but cannot be reduced.

Bluebell Hydro and Physio  have no waiting lists. We are normally able to arrange an assessment within  24-72 hours. We can often provide same day appointments.
