How much does physiotherapy cost in the UK?
Outside London, private physiotherapy is commonly £45 to £70 for a 30 to 45 minute session. In London, £60 to £110 is typical, and appointments in central clinics or with specialist physiotherapists can be more. First appointments are usually longer and cost £10 to £40 more than follow-ups. Some clinics offer 30-minute follow-ups at a lower rate; others keep every session at 45 to 60 minutes.
Physiotherapy price list: what is included at Omnia

Your first appointment includes the full assessment, hands-on treatment on the same day and your exercise plan, so you are not paying for a separate assessment before treatment starts.
How much is a physiotherapy session in London?
Most single follow-up sessions in London cost £60 to £90, and first appointments with an assessment are usually more. At Omnia a 30-minute follow-up is £70 and a 45-minute follow-up is £90. Shorter sessions suit straightforward progress checks and exercise updates; longer sessions suit more hands-on treatment or more than one problem area.
How much does a physiotherapy home visit cost in London?
Home visit physiotherapy in London usually costs £90 to £150, depending on distance and session length, because travel time is built in. Omnia home visits across West London start from £110. They suit people recovering from surgery, older adults with balance or mobility problems, and anyone who cannot travel. See home visit fees for details.
How many sessions to budget for
Most people need three to eight sessions. A simple worked example at Omnia: a first appointment at £99 plus four 30-minute follow-ups at £70 comes to £379. Simple problems cost less; rehabilitation after surgery costs more. You should have a clear estimate after the first visit.
Cheaper physiotherapy options
If cost is the main concern, NHS physiotherapy is free and many areas accept self-referral. Privately, a free 15-minute consultation in clinic suits people who mainly want advice before booking treatment, and 30-minute follow-ups at £70 keep a course affordable. Doing your home exercises between visits is the most reliable way to need fewer sessions.
Private health insurance
Physiotherapy is one of the most commonly covered treatments. We are recognised by AXA Health, Vitality, WPA and Aviva. Most policies cap the number of sessions or the annual amount, some apply an excess, and some require a GP referral first, so check before booking. We provide itemised receipts and reports for claims.
NHS physiotherapy
Free at the point of use and available by GP referral or, in many areas, self-referral. Waiting times range from a couple of weeks to several months and sessions are usually limited in number and length. Many people use private physiotherapy to get started while waiting, or for problems the NHS does not prioritise.
What makes a session good value
Time with the physiotherapist, an assessment that finds the cause, and a plan that reduces the number of sessions you need. The cheapest appointment is rarely the one that gets you better fastest.
