FAQ

Before you book

The questions patients ask most often, answered plainly. If yours is not here, ask us.

Still unsure?

Call the clinic and describe the problem. If an assessment is not the right next step, we will say so.

What happens at the first appointment?

It takes 45 minutes. We take a history, examine the area and test the movements that provoke your symptoms, recording range, strength and pain as a baseline. You leave with the finding explained and a written plan.

Do I need a referral from my GP?

No. You can book an assessment directly. If something in your history needs a GP or a scan before we treat, we will tell you at the assessment and say why.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the presentation, and we give you a range at the assessment rather than a number on a website. Progress is reviewed against your baseline measures, and treatment ends when those measures hold.

Do you offer shockwave therapy?

Yes. The clinic uses both radial and focused shockwave, alongside TECAR and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. Whether any of them is appropriate for you is decided at the assessment, and they are used together with hands-on treatment and rehabilitation rather than instead of it.

What should I wear?

Clothing you can move in, and that allows the area to be examined — shorts for a knee, hip or lower back, a vest top for a shoulder or neck. Bring your trainers if the problem shows up when you run.

Do you treat sports injuries and post-operative rehabilitation?

Yes. Both are core to the clinic, alongside chronic back and neck pain and occupational strain. Post-operative work is staged against your surgeon's protocol where one has been given.

Is treatment hands-on?

Yes. Adjustments, manipulation and manual therapy are the main part of treatment, with shockwave and electrotherapy used alongside where the presentation calls for it. Everything is delivered in person by the clinic's MSK specialists.

What does it cost?

Fees are confirmed when you book, so you know the cost before you attend. Ask when you enquire and we will tell you the fee for the assessment and for follow-up sessions.

Where are you and how do I get there?

PRC Clinic is on the lower ground floor of Willesden Medical Centre, 144-150 High Road, Willesden Green, London NW10 2PT. Take the stairs down once you are inside the medical centre. The Location page has the map and directions.
