What Is Physiotherapy?
Integrated Care: The Best of Both Worlds
- Physiotherapy provides detailed assessment, diagnosis, and rehabilitation, helping to rebuild strength and restore movement.
- Massage Therapy works on the soft tissues to reduce muscular tension, ease discomfort, and promote relaxation.
Together, these approaches create a well-rounded treatment pathway that supports both immediate relief and long-term results.
Conditions We Treat
Our physiotherapists work with a wide range of conditions, helping you recover and move more comfortably.
We commonly treat:
- Musculoskeletal Pain: Helping to relieve joint and muscle discomfort affecting daily life.
- Sports Injuries: Supporting recovery from strains, sprains, and activity-related injuries.
- Post-Operative Rehabilitation: Helping you regain strength, mobility, and function following surgery.
- Mobility Concerns: Improving balance, coordination, and overall movement.
- Postural Issues: Providing guidance and exercises to counteract the effects of prolonged sitting or repetitive tasks.
Your Appointment: What to Expect
Your First Visit
During your initial assessment, your physiotherapist will carry out a detailed physical examination to understand your symptoms, movement patterns, and goals. Your medical history will also be reviewed.
- Manual therapy and soft tissue techniques to reduce pain and improve mobility
- A tailored exercise programme designed around your needs
Follow-Up Sessions
Follow-up appointments focus on treatment progression and ongoing support. Your physiotherapist will monitor your improvement and adapt your plan to help you continue progressing.

Physiotherapy and Your Membership
Members can book physiotherapy at Harrow using their membership. A credit covers a 45 minute initial assessment or a 30 minute follow-up, which makes a longer course of treatment much easier to sustain than paying for each visit.
That matters most for the sort of problems that need steady, repeated work rather than a one-off appointment. Ask the Harrow team and they will explain how your credits apply.
Private Health Insurance
Our physiotherapy team is recognised by major private health insurance providers, including BUPA, WPA, AXA, Aviva, Vitality, and Healix.
