A course of therapy will typically take between two and six sessions depending on the type and severity of the condition. The provider must offer the proposed physiotherapy service at a location within 5 miles of Royal Tunbridge Wells, to ensure a reasonable and practicable offering to referrals in relation to travel and accessibility.
