Frequently Asked Questions
How long does rehabilitation take?
It depends on your condition and goals. A straightforward muscle injury might need 4 to 6 weeks, while post-surgical rehabilitation such as a knee replacement typically runs 8 to 12 weeks or longer. We'll give you an honest timeline at your first appointment and adjust as you progress.
Do you do return-to-work assessments?
Yes. We offer structured return-to-work rehabilitation programmes, particularly for physically demanding roles common in Barrow such as shipyard work, construction, and factory positions. We can provide reports for your employer outlining your readiness and any adjustments needed.
Do I need a referral for rehabilitation?
No, you can self-refer directly to us. Many patients come to us following surgery or on recommendation from their consultant, but a GP referral is not required. Simply book an appointment and we'll take it from there.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your first session is a comprehensive assessment lasting 45 to 60 minutes. We'll discuss your injury or surgery, assess your current movement and strength, and work with you to set clear rehabilitation goals. You'll leave with a plan and usually begin your first exercises on the day.
Is there parking near the clinic?
Yes, there is convenient parking available close to the clinic. Barrow town centre also has several public car parks within a short walk, making it easy to attend your appointments.
