Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral from my GP
No you are able to self refer for an assessment. However I am happy to receive a referral from your GP or other health professional and will keep in touch with them regarding your progress as appropriate. If I feel that further medical advice is required I will refer you back to the appropriate health professional. If I feel that physiotherapy is not going to benefit you I will let you know and signpost you to someone else who may be able to help.
Do you offer home visits
Yes PhysioCare Holistics is able to provide assessment and treatment in the comfort of your own home. If you find accessing physiotherapy services difficult or if you would simply rather be treated in your own home then this is possible. Areas covered include South Manchester and Cheshire.

Please get in touch to find out your closest clinic.
