We will be in touch
Ideally a free one, but if it has to cost then so be it.
Need to sort my knees out quick smart.
Thanks.
If you go private probably today. NHS was a 6 week wait for me last time following a hospital referral (although I jumped the queue the time before that after a broken hip).
Where are you lookign to find one?
Last time I saw one privately same day
NHS will be drawn out..
Oxfordshire. How much might I expect to pay for a private session?
I had a two month wait after a GP referral.. I kicked up stink and demanded a second opinion from another GP and got an emergency referral.. this resulted in wait of four working days..
depends... probably £40-£60 for a first appt of about an hour? drops after that as they don't need to spend so long.
As above, private = same/next day.
I'm fortunate in the my work pays for my physio, regardless of whether it's work or sport related and I can self-refer.
In the last eight years I reckon I've had six courses of treatment, none of which were work-related (4 running, 1 ski, 1 MTB (rotater cuff muscles in shoulder after crash))
try a university sports centre(s) - is there a uni in Oxfordshire?
What's the problem?
Physios can be a mixed bag for cycling injuries, so it seems.
My good lady is a physio, and charges about £60 for the initial consultation, then about £40 per session after that. Ooop North though
A Uni? In Oxfordshire? I'll have a google... 🙂
Local football club usually has someone who's quite good with sports injuries and they usually freelance too
You'll be wanting a 3rd/4th division [or whatever it's called now] sort of team though as the big boys will have permanent staff
Rugby clubs etc too
Pain in the knees... seemed ok after a few days of LEJOG but jsut hurt it again doing something down the gym. Had various knee pains for a while so think I should just see if it's an imbalance or something.
£40 to £60 doesn't seem to bad... as long as I don't need too many sessions!
What knee pain?
Patellofemoral syndrome is common after lots of riding, and a friend of a friend had their knee royally messed up by a physio who thought it was something else...
TSY, email in profile. Am a podiatrist and may be able to help you out or point you in the right direction.......
+ 1 for private...you'll wait ages for one on the NHS, and you can't be injured for the summers plans.
Pretty much same day ime, unless you have a preference for who you see - my physio is often fully booked whereas others in the same physio centre aren't. Up here its something like £47 for inital appointment and then about £40 for follow up...but i get a discount so not actually sure of cost 🙂
4-6 weeks is a usual nhs wait for a routine referral. Round our way urgent nhs means within 2 weeks. I paid £37 privately for an inital appointment but I'm oop norf so it will be cheaper cos thatcher closed all the pits.
I've used [url= http://www.wpbphysio.co.uk/index.html ]these[/url] several times but are in Northampton. Last time I used them it was £45 for 45 minutes.
Self referral drop-in sessions at our local NHS physio, so a couple of hours if you're on the right day?
£30 for private sports physio, £25 an hour through work.
Captain... YGM 🙂
Self referral drop-in sessions at our local NHS physio
Bloody hell! Can we have some of your physios please, you seem to have too many!
I misread this as "Phsyco", content wasn't what I was hoping for.
Hope your knees get better soon.
or even psycho?
Turkish massage in the meantime? 🙂
Yes please... your place or mine? Try no to tickle me again though 🙂
And no touching me in the rudies!
NHS take ages to get you an appointment and I found they weren't very thorough in the treatments as they're very busy.
What happens on the table, stays on the table.
oxford brookes does physio i think (not sure how good it is though...) as everyone else has said couple of days for private and 40 ish quid.
If you were nearer london i could recommend a very good physio, has a PhD in knees and has a nice little practise in dorking (i'm also a PhD physio)
On NHS I waited 4 weeks but only because there was a healing period first to stop the exercises pulling the bolts out, would have been immediate otherwise. Though that was a different situation, it does seem like they use the approach "if it's been like this for a while then it's not urgent"
