The Guildhall Practice Physiotherapy Clinics
The Guildhall Practice opened in Birmingham city centre in 1993 and physiotherapy has been at the heart of the practice ever since. Today our chartered physiotherapists work from four clinics: Birmingham, Edgbaston at Five Ways, Kings Heath and Kidderminster, alongside our osteopaths, sports massage therapists and diagnostic ultrasound service, so if a different treatment or a scan would help, it can be arranged in the same building.
We are a patient-centred practice. Your physiotherapist will assess you properly, explain what is going on in plain English and give you the most effective treatment for your problem, with no course of sessions to buy up front. Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available, and you do not need a GP referral.

Private Physio Treatment
At your initial appointment with a physiotherapist at our West Midlands & Worcestershire practices, we will begin, firstly, by taking a full case history. This enables us to evaluate your injury and, importantly, to understand the factors that may be contributing to it. Normally we ask patients to remove some of their clothing during the examination and treatment. Therefore, you may choose to bring a pair of shorts and a t-shirt to change into before your assessment if it makes you feel more comfortable.
You are also always free to bring along a friend or relative with you to act as your chaperone. Following the case history, your physiotherapist may conduct further medical, orthopedic, or neurological tests. They will explain the aim of each test and hence the relevance of these as they proceed. Finally, your physiotherapist will explain the most appropriate treatment for you. They will also give you an indication of how many treatments you are likely to need to fully recover.
"THE FRIENDLY AND RELAXED ATMOSPHERE WILL MAKE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE AS WELL AS CARED FOR FROM YOUR VERY FIRST VISIT. "

We also structure our diary so that lunchtime appointments are normally available.

physiotherapy – faqs
What Should I Expect On My Initial Physiotherapy Appointment ?
Your first physiotherapy appointment lasts 40 minutes. Importantly, it is always our intention to assess, diagnose, and commence treatment within this initial consultation.
At your initial physiotherapy appointment, we will first begin by taking a full case history. This enables us to evaluate your injury and to understand the factors that may be contributing to it. Please bring along any information you may have relating to medication, the results of clinical tests, scans, or x-rays that you have had in order to update our records. Having taken the case history, your physiotherapist will normally carry out a series of tests. These tests are particularly useful in determining a more accurate diagnosis.
What Techniques Do Physiotherapists Use ?
Physio treatment involves hands-on soft tissue massage, as well as stretching and strengthening techniques. However, treatment is different for every patient and depends on your age, fitness, and diagnosis.
We aim to identify potential areas of injury risk, as well as set specific exercise routines for improvement in terms of mobility and strength. Your physio can provide a detailed exercise program for you using Physiotec, an interactive software app. This allows us to prescribe specific exercises designed to meet your individual needs. This program gives you detailed instructions, photographs, and videos, which are invaluable to your rehabilitation.
Do I Need A GP Referral For Physiotherapy ?
No, you do not require a referral from your GP or specialist to book an appointment with a physiotherapist. However, you may require one if you wish to claim through your health insurance policy. We suggest that you contact your health insurance provider to find out their protocol for your policy. Your physiotherapist will occasionally refer you to your GP or to a specialist for further investigations.

What Should I wear For My Physiotherapy Treatment ?
It is important to us that all of our patients feel comfortable during their examination and treatment. Patients either undress to their underwear or will often bring shorts and a sports top. Your physiotherapist will do their best to respect your modesty at all times, and it’s important that you communicate with them whenever you feel uncomfortable.
