Do I Need A GP Referral For Any Of Your Services?
​
No you don’t need a GP referral. However if you have one, you can bring us a copy of the referral letter with relevant details, and/or the written report of any X-ray or MRI that related to any injuries.
What Do I Wear To My Appointment?
Depending on where your injury or issue is located, the clinician may ask you to remove some clothing. It’s important that you are comfortable but also that the physio can see the area well. We advise you to come with shorts if it is an issue with your lower back, hips or legs and perhaps a singlet/vest if the issue is in your back, shoulders, neck or arms.
Where Can I Get A Receipt After Paying Online?
You will automatically receive an email receipt from our software system.Â
Please note that this receipt that can be submitted to your insurer; if your receipt from online booking and payment is not proof of attendance and cannot be submitted, please let us know and we can provide you with a separate receipt.
Why Do I Have To Pay In Advance?
Will I Be Charged For A Late Cancellation?
We understand that life can be unpredictable, and you may need to cancel or reschedule your physiotherapy appointment. We kindly ask that you provide as much notice as possible if you are unable to attend.
Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice: A €40 cancellation fee will apply.
Cancellations with less than 6 hours’ notice or non-attendance: The full session fee will be charged.
This policy is in place to ensure we can offer your appointment slot to other patients who may need it and to support the sustainability of our practice.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
What Is Your Cancellation Policy?
Payment is taken upon booking with our online system, and not upon completion of your appointment.
During the COVID-19 outbreak, we are requesting payment for all appointments in advance. This is part of our infection control policy and is in place for the protection of our patients and clinical team to minimise touch points within our clinics.
If you are paying at the time of appointment in the clinic and you do not have a debit or credit card, please let our team know on booking who will alert the clinician that a cash payment will need to take place.
