Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GP referral to book an appointment?
No. The clinic states that you do not need a GP referral to see their Leeds physiotherapists, although your GP may refer you to them. Self-referral is common and gives you a route to treatment earlier than through the NHS.
How long does an appointment last?
Appointments with treatment and initial consultations last between 30 minutes and one hour, and most appointments reach the hour mark. The initial consultation is a detailed assessment used to build a personalised treatment plan.
What should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?
Loose, comfortable clothing that is easy to take off and put on is best, because you will be asked to remove some clothing for treatment appropriate to the session. For example, trousers for a leg appointment or a top for back or shoulder pain. A physiotherapist of the same sex can be arranged if necessary.
Where is the clinic and when is it open?
The practice is at 481 Otley Road, Adel, Leeds LS16 7NR, with extensive parking on The Otley Road. Opening times are 7am to 9pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 12pm on Saturday.
How much does a session cost and do you take insurance?
Assessment and treatment sessions with David Stringer and his associate physiotherapists are charged at £50.00. The practice is registered with all major private insurance companies as well as Simply Health, formerly the Leeds Hospital Fund.
