How do I make an appointment?

Appointments are available from 8.00am to 10pm Monday to Friday.

Please fill in a New Patient form online before arriving at your consultation.

This incldues both initial assessments and follow-up treatments.

Can my fees be paid by my health insurer?

We are recognised by most major health insurers.For BUPA and AXA patients we can claim back from your insurer. For all others, we can issue you with a receipt allowing you to claim back from them. You may wish to check with your insurer that they will cover the cost.

What is your cancellation policy?

If less than 24 hours notice is given to cancel an appointment then the full fee will be chargeable. Please note insurance companies do not usually pay cancellation fees.

Do I need a Doctors referral?

No, if you are self paying you will not need to see your GP before arranging an appointment. If you are claiming through your private healthcare, most will require a GP referral. It is worth checking with your provider before arranging a consultation.

Do you have on-site parking?

Yes we do. There is plenty of parking on-site. This is payable through Ringo, or can be paid for in the main reception at Thames Valley Athletics Centre. Charges are £1.20/hour.

What do I need to bring with me for my initial consultation?

If applicable, it would be beneficial to bring any doctors/consultant referral letters, x-rays or other medical information on your injury.

Please wear loose clothing so that we can assess the area being treated thoroughly.

What facilities do you have?

We have private treatment rooms, toilet and changing facilities, reception areas, and on-site parking.

We have full gym facilities, and an indoor and outdoor athletics track that can be utilised accordingly to assist with your rehabilitation.

What will happen in my initial assessment?

The initial assessment will include taking a detailed history of your symptoms as well as any relevant past medical history. Once this has been completed, a number of specific clinical tests will be conducted in both standing and lying positions to enable a diagnosis to be made.

At Jon Cooke Physiotherapy Ltd we pride ourselves on patient education, and will always discuss fully the diagnosis with you, and welcome lots of questions.

There is nothing worse (in our opinion) than having the patient leave the treatment room without knowing exactly what is wrong and how physiotherapy is going to help you make a speedy recovery to reach your goal. So if you feel this has not been achieved, please tell us.

Following a clear concise diagnosis, you will receive some treatment, and, if appropriate, will be issued with tailored exercises, which will be built upon in subsequent sessions.

What will happen in follow-up treatment sessions?

In follow-up sessions, your progress will be reviewed and you will receive further treatment and exercises accordingly. Each session will be have a ‘goal’ in mind.
