What is the difference between Physiotherapy and Sports Massage?

Physiotherapy is generally the most appropriate starting point when you have an injury, unexplained pain, weakness, reduced movement or require structured rehabilitation.

Sports Massage focuses more on muscular tension, physical recovery and the demands associated with exercise, sport or physically active work.

There can be some overlap between the services, but the most suitable appointment depends on your symptoms and goals.

Which type of appointment should I book?

Choose Physiotherapy when you require a clinical assessment of pain, injury, weakness or reduced physical function.

Sports Massage or another massage treatment may be more suitable when your main concern is muscular tightness, physical recovery or general soft-tissue comfort.

Contact the clinic when you are uncertain which service to select. The team can help direct you towards the most appropriate appointment.

What happens during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your physiotherapist will discuss your symptoms, health, activities and treatment goals. They may then assess relevant movement, strength and physical function.

After the assessment, your physiotherapist will explain the findings and recommend a personalised plan. Treatment may include advice, exercise, progressive rehabilitation and hands-on physiotherapy where appropriate.

Can I book a free physiotherapy consultation first?

Yes. Core Physio offers a free 10-minute telephone consultation for people who are unsure whether physiotherapy is the right next step. A member of the team can discuss your concerns and help you choose an appropriate appointment without any obligation to book treatment. Free Physio Consultation in London Bridge

Do I need to participate in sport to book Sports Massage?

No. Sports Massage is not limited to competitive athletes. It may also be suitable for people experiencing muscular tension associated with regular exercise, physically demanding work or an active lifestyle.

A physiotherapy assessment may be more appropriate when symptoms follow an injury, repeatedly return or involve significant weakness or reduced movement.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Wear comfortable clothing that allows the relevant area to be assessed and treated.

Shorts can be helpful for lower-body appointments, while a vest or loose-fitting top may be useful for neck, shoulder or upper-body treatment. Your privacy and comfort will be respected throughout the appointment.

Can I use private health insurance at the London Bridge Clinic?

Core Physio works with selected private health insurers. Check your policy before booking because authorisation, referral requirements and eligible practitioners can vary between insurers.
