FAQs

Your questions, answered

Everything you need to know before your first visit. Still unsure? Just give us a call.

No. Physiotherapy is a self-referral profession, so you can book directly with Oakleaf without seeing your GP first. Just book online or give us a call.
The easiest way is to book online through our booking system — it shows live availability 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can also call us on 07518 144693 to arrange a time that suits you.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that lets us access and move the area being treated. For lower-limb or back problems, shorts are ideal; for shoulder or neck issues, a vest top helps. Your comfort and dignity are always respected.
It varies with the condition and how long it has been present. Many problems improve within a handful of sessions, while post-surgical or long-standing issues can take longer. After your initial assessment you'll get an honest plan — we never sell sessions you don't need.
Your first visit is a full assessment. We take a detailed history, examine how you move, and diagnose the cause of your problem — not just the symptoms. You'll usually begin hands-on treatment the same session and leave with a clear plan and exercises to start at home.
Yes — sports injuries are a core part of what we do at Oakleaf. From acute strains and sprains to overuse injuries like tendinopathy and shin splints, we focus on getting you back to your sport safely and reducing the chance of re-injury.
Yes — back pain is one of the most common problems we treat. Physiotherapy addresses the root cause, whether that's a joint, disc, muscle imbalance or posture issue, using hands-on treatment, targeted exercise and advice. Most back pain settles without injections or surgery when treated early.
We are at Unit 14 Pennyburn Industrial Estate, Londonderry BT48 0LU, with easy parking on site. We're convenient for patients across Derry, Strabane, Limavady and the surrounding area.
