Do You Need a GP Referral for Physiotherapy?
By Hiral Ghoghari, Lead Physiotherapist · SpineAlign Physio & Wellness, Finchley Road
One of the most common questions we get at our Finchley Road clinic is whether you need to see your GP before booking physiotherapy. The short answer is no.
Self-Referral Is Standard
A GP referral is not required at SpineAlign. You can self-refer and book directly online. If you plan to claim treatment costs via private medical insurance, we recommend verifying your policy details first, as some insurers have their own requirements.
What Your First Visit Involves
Initial consultations last 30 minutes and cost £55, giving us time for a complete diagnostic assessment before any treatment begins.
What to Wear
Please wear comfortable, flexible clothing — gym wear, shorts, or a loose t-shirt — so we can assess joint movement and perform physical evaluations easily.
