Physiotherapy Services London
& UK-wide — HCPC Qualified

Private physiotherapy on MedGo2U starts from £40 per session. Across the UK, private physiotherapy typically costs £40–£95 a session, and London is usually 20–40% higher than the national average. On MedGo2U each physiotherapist sets their own price and your exact cost is shown clearly before you confirm — no hidden fees, and no surprise assessment charges.

NHS physiotherapy is free but waiting lists are typically 6–12 weeks, with shorter 20–30 minute sessions and no choice of physio. Private physiotherapy gives you same-week access (often within 48 hours), longer one-to-one sessions, continuity with the same physiotherapist and your choice of specialist. For new injuries and post-surgery recovery, earlier treatment usually means a better outcome — which is why many people choose to self-fund. Both NHS and private physios must be HCPC-registered, so the difference is access and convenience, not qualification.

No. All HCPC-registered physiotherapists can assess, diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions without a GP referral, so you can book a private physiotherapist directly on MedGo2U with no referral and no waiting list. If you plan to claim on private health insurance, check whether your insurer needs a GP referral first.

Yes. A physiotherapist takes your history, assesses how you move, runs specific clinical tests, and gives you a working diagnosis explained in plain English, plus a treatment plan. If your condition needs a scan or a specialist, they will refer you on. Physiotherapy is the NICE-recommended first-line treatment for back pain, sciatica and osteoarthritis.

Most common musculoskeletal problems improve in about 4–6 sessions; more complex or chronic cases may need 8–12, with a re-assessment usually after the first few. Your physiotherapist gives you a realistic estimate at your first appointment, and doing your prescribed home exercises is the single biggest factor in how quickly you recover.

On MedGo2U you can usually book a physiotherapist within 48 hours, with same-day options. Physiotherapists offer home visits across all 32 London boroughs — and you can track your physio live to your door — plus video consultations anywhere in the UK. Can't find the right physio?
