Why book an online physiotherapy consultation with Central Somerset Physiotherapy?

Online physiotherapy is ideal if you’re working from home, in isolation or you can’t see your usual physiotherapist in-person.

What is online physiotherapy for?

Anyone with a need for physio, including those recovering from injuries or working to maintain physical strength.

How does online physiotherapy with CSP work?

Your physiotherapist will carry out your appointment via a private video call using a secure programme. They will ask the same questions and carry out the same assessments that they would if you saw them in person. In the first session, they will:

Ask about pain, discomfort and mobility.
Assess your range of movement, strength and functional activities.
Discuss your diagnosis.
Create a treatment plan.
Including goal setting, exercise prescription, education and guided self-manual therapy.

How do I prepare for a video call?

Liz or Andy will call or email you, before your appointment and agree the means of remote consultation. At the time of your first appointment, they will email you a link for the remote consultation if applicable. Ensure your webcam is set up so your physio can assess and treat you effectively.

How long will my online appointment last?

Up to 30 minutes. Your appointment will follow the same stages of assessment and treatment as in-person appointment.

Why via video and not telephone?

We can achieve more via video than over telephone. Using video, we can complete a functional assessment, observe your range of movements and carry out modified testing to help with diagnosis.

What does it cost?

Self pay clients, please refer to our current price guides for Online Physiotherapy appointments costs.

Acupuncture.

Expert acupuncture with our highly experienced and qualified physiotherapists.

Acupuncture is a health system that has existed and developed over thousands of years and involves the insertion of fine sterile needles (a painless procedure) into energy points along meridians in the body. Energy (Qi) flows through the body in meridians which connect tissues and organ systems. Health is present when these energies work in harmony with each other.

Acupuncture is an adjunct used by many physiotherapists as part of the management of pain, inflammation and as a means of enhancing the body's own healing chemicals in order to aid recovery and enhance rehabilitation. The insertion of sterile needles into the body stimulates the brain and spinal cord to produce NATURAL pain relieving chemicals, such as endorphins; melatonin to promote sleep, and serotonin to promote well-being. These assist the body's healing process and offer pain relief as a precursor for the use of other treatment modalities.

Trigger point Acupuncture may also be used to facilitate relaxation in specific muscles following trauma such as whiplash injury or as a means to obtain increased muscle length. Here the needle is placed into the affected muscle until it is felt to relax under the needle and then removed.

All our physiotherapists who practice acupuncture are Members of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP). They are required to train to a minimum standard and are bound by professional codes of conduct through the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and Health Professions Council (HPC). We provide a wide range of treatment tailored to the specific requirements.
