Six Physio Kensington

Physiotherapy is the assessment and management of a number of different injuries or conditions, focusing on restoring an individual’s movement, strength and function.

Physiotherapists carry out a thorough clinical assessment, to help diagnose and treat a variety of injuries and conditions. Treatment usually involves a combination of hands-on techniques and progressive exercise rehabilitation, combined with education to make sure you are at the centre of your own recovery journey.

Physios are not doctors, however we have all undertaken a university degree in Physiotherapy. We work closely with GP’s, consultants and other healthcare professionals to make sure you get the best level of care possible.

Any comfy, loose-fitting clothing is ideal but we always have spare shorts and tops in the clinic for anyone that needs them.

Typically, the first physio appointment is 1 hour, to make sure we can get a full history, as well as carry out appropriate treatment. Follow-up appointments will then be either 30 minutes or 1 hour depending on the individual’s needs.
