What My Knee Patients Say

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After a total knee replacement I was struggling to bend new knee to the desired level. Through expert guidance and active encouragement I was soon able to exceed my most optimistic expectations. Really pleased and would strongly recommend Kirsty.

Antony Watkins

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kirsty is such a helpful physio with a great personality. Her advice is always practical and knowledgeable. She has done wonders with my husband’s hip issues and is now working on my knee. I do highly recommend her!


Helen Blanchard

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kirsty’s physiotherapy provided important and necessary support both before and after a full knee replacement. Her cheerful and professional approach was a real tonic and I can’t recommend her professional services highly enough. I would not have regained my mobility so quickly without her.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral before booking?

No. You can self-refer and book an appointment directly without a referral.

The only exception is if you plan to claim your treatment through private health insurance. In most cases, insurance providers will provide a pre-authorisation code to allow the treatment to be claimed. Please check your policy details and secure these before booking if you wish to claim.

Do I need a scan before booking?

No — most knee problems can be assessed accurately through a detailed clinical assessment.

If imaging such as an MRI or X-ray is needed, I can advise you on the most appropriate next steps.

Can physiotherapy help arthritis-related knee pain?

Yes — physiotherapy is often one of the most effective treatments for knee arthritis.

Treatment focuses on improving strength, mobility, confidence and reducing pain to help you stay active.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Please wear comfortable clothing that allows access to your knee, such as shorts or loose-fitting trousers.

If needed, you may also be asked to perform movement or strength testing.

Do you accept private health insurance?

Yes — Kirsty Harris Physiotherapy is registered with major health insurance providers including Aviva, AXA, Bupa, Cigna, Healix and WPA. 

We also supply fully compliant invoices for claiming your sessions back from cash-back insurance schemes.

How long is the appointment?

Initial specialist knee consultations last 60 minutes, allowing time for a detailed assessment, movement analysis, diagnosis and rehabilitation planning.

What if I’m not sure what’s causing my knee pain?

That’s completely fine. Many patients attend without knowing the exact cause of their symptoms.

The assessment is designed to help identify the likely source of your pain and guide you towards the most appropriate treatment plan.

Is parking available?

Yes — free on-site parking is available at the clinic in Welford.

Can I book urgently?

Urgent appointments are often available. You can use the online booking system to check availability or speak with my 24/7 AI receptionist for help finding the most suitable appointment.

Not sure if knee physiotherapy is right for you?

I understand that choosing the right treatment for your knee can feel overwhelming.
