Private Physiotherapy in Medway

Medway is reasonably well served for physiotherapy on paper. There is an NHS musculoskeletal service you can self refer into, a hospital service at Medway Maritime, and several private providers operating out of gyms and medical centres across Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham.

What varies enormously is time. NHS waits for routine musculoskeletal appointments frequently run into months, and once seen, appointment slots are necessarily short. A good deal of private provision is delivered in fifteen or twenty minute blocks on a shared gym floor, which is fine for some problems and inadequate for anything requiring genuine investigation.

BetterMe exists in the gap. Longer appointments, entirely one to one, with a physiotherapist holding MACP accreditation, which just over 1,200 practitioners nationally have achieved. That combination is uncommon locally, and it is the whole reason the clinic was set up the way it was.

It is not the right answer for everybody. If your problem is straightforward and you are content to wait, the NHS service does a good job. If you have already waited, already been seen, or already tried the short appointment route without lasting progress, this is a different proposition.
