Physiotherapy in Ealing & Hanwell

CK Physiotherapy is a chartered physiotherapy clinic at 57 Elthorne Avenue, Hanwell W7 2JY, in the London Borough of Ealing. We have been treating patients from Hanwell, Ealing and the surrounding area of West London since 2003. An initial assessment and treatment costs £80, and you do not need a GP referral to book.

This section covers what happens at your first appointment, what physiotherapy costs, how insurance and home visits work, when to see a doctor instead, and how to find us.

What happens at your first appointment?

Your first appointment lasts up to 45 minutes and includes a full assessment and, in most cases, your first treatment. We ask about your symptoms, medical history and goals, examine how you move, and explain what we think is causing the problem. Before you leave, we agree a plan with you and show you the first exercises to do at home.

Follow-up appointments last up to 30 minutes. How many you need depends on the problem and how it responds. We will give you our best estimate after the assessment and review it at every visit. Wear or bring comfortable clothing that lets us see and move the area being treated.

Physiotherapy: common questions

What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when you are affected by injury, illness or disability. A physiotherapist assesses what is causing your problem and treats it with exercise, hands-on techniques and advice, so you can recover and manage it yourself. In the UK, physiotherapists must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

How much does physiotherapy cost at CK Physio?

An initial assessment and treatment costs £80 and follow-up sessions cost £65. A 1-hour session or a home visit costs £130. Fees are payable at each session unless you are covered by private medical insurance. Our bookings page carries the live fee schedule.

Do I need a GP referral for physiotherapy?

No. You can book private physiotherapy at CK Physio directly, without seeing your GP first. Some private insurers ask for a GP referral before they will authorise treatment, so check your policy if you are claiming. In many areas you can also refer yourself to NHS musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy services, although waiting times vary.

Can I use my private health insurance?

Yes. CK Physiotherapy is recognised by BUPA, AXA PPP, WPA, Groupama and Life UK. Contact your insurer before your first appointment and bring your registration details and authorisation code.

Do you offer physiotherapy home visits?

Yes. We offer physiotherapy home visits in selected West London postcodes, by prior arrangement, at £130 per visit. Call us on 020 8566 4113 to check whether we cover your area.
