| Q1. |
Do I need a doctor's
referral for physiotherapy treatment? |
| A. |
No, however we do recommend
that you contact your physician/surgeon as you may require a medical
referral (referral by a medical practitioner) to authorise
re-imbursement of treatment charges.

| Q2. |
What is electrotherapy? |

Electrotherapy is
the use of electricity in order to produce different types of energy

pain and muscle spasm and by strengthening muscles. This results in the
promotion of healing.

endeavour to offer you an appointment on the same day or within 24
hours.

| Q6. |
How many treatments will
I need? |

There is no

following your initial assessment, your physiotherapist will discuss and
agree a treatment plan with you. This may include advice regarding the
approximate number of treatments you may require. Individual's response
to treatment varies.
