Physio Avenue

Since I started physio avenue 12 months ago, I have been flexible and accommodating with my booking policy.

I completely understand that life happens, and can mean appointments need to be changed, sometimes for reasons that may be outside of your control.

However, last minute changes can put substantial strain on a small business like mine, and make it harder to run.

This week, 36% of my appointments were affected by short notice changes or missed appointments.

To be fair to all, we now have a simpler and clear booking policy which will apply to all bookings made from November 1st.

Deposits:
All appointments will require a £20 deposit, which is taken off the cost of your session.

Rearranging:
Please give at least 24 hours' notice, and your deposit will be carried over.

Cancellation:
Give at least 48 hours' notice and your deposit will be refunded. With less than 48 hours' notice, the deposit is kept.

Late notice or missed appointments:
Less than 24 hours' notice, or a missed appointment, means the full session fee is due.

If we ever need to cancel, you'll get your deposit back or carried over, whichever you prefer.

Thank you so much for your support, which means so much and helps me keep doing what I love. Together, we're growing a business that has already supported many local people.

💙 As a Physio First Graduate Member, Jo Crawley is making the most of the support available as she builds her independent practice.​

“Physiotherapy was a midlife career change for me. I graduated in July 2025, when NHS physio recruitment was limited. Not wanting my newly acquired knowledge and skills to fade while I searched for work, I decided to start seeing clients privately.”​

Taking that leap came with its challenges, and Jo reached out to Physio First for advice and reassurance.​

“The support they gave was invaluable, helping me find the confidence that setting up alone was possible.”​

From the Private Practice Essential Guide and clinic policies and procedures to advice on scope of practice, Jo found practical resources to help her navigate the business side of private practice. She has also joined the Independent Practitioner Development Programme (IPDP), receiving guidance from an experienced mentor.​

Now, as her Physio Avenue clinic grows, Jo reflects on her first year:​

“The first twelve months have brought many challenges, lots of joy, and plenty of personal growth. Some days bring worry, others a huge sense of achievement, and I am so pleased to finally be in a career that feels ‘right’.”​

And on the support she receives from Physio First:​

“It is reassuring to know there is a network of people who go out of their way to offer practical advice and encouragement.”​

Thinking about starting out in private practice? Jo’s experience shows how the right guidance and support can help you take those first steps.​

I feel lucky to have a job I love, where no two days are the same. Today I’ve supported people with:

Balance problems
Back pain
Shoulder pain
Post-op rehab
..and people who simply wanted to take some time out to relax with a massage.

Physio is so much more than a leaflet with a few exercises on it. Pain is complex. My appointments give time to talk, listen and properly understand your symptoms. From there, we work out a plan together that fits your life and your goals.

Whether you’re recovering from or preparing for surgery, living with pain, wanting to feel steadier on your feet, or just need an hour to switch off, I’d love to help.

Feel free to message to find out more, or you can book online for a free discovery call to explore whether physio is right for you.
