Sources, review and limits
Main sources
- TreatCompare compiled research and provider-published information
Methodology: We compare published physiotherapy prices and NHS access information. Treatment suitability, exercise progression and return-to-sport decisions require qualified assessment.
What to compare
A lower-cost session is not always lower-cost overall if the plan is vague. Ask for likely session count, home exercise plan, return-to-sport milestones and whether imaging or referral is needed.
Compare private physiotherapy clinics on price, specialism and location.
