Tell Richard what
you need help with.
Ready to arrange an appointment, or still deciding? Call or email to discuss your next step.
Let’s work out
where to start.
You do not need to send your medical history to make an enquiry. Start with the kind of appointment you are interested in, and ask about availability and fees.
16 Blackthorn Road
Stratford-upon-Avon
By appointment. Please confirm the venue and access arrangements when booking; hydrotherapy may use a different location.
Already arranging your first visit?
Download your new patient registration and consent form before you come in. Complete the relevant registration and health-history sections, then bring it to your appointment.
Richard will discuss treatment-specific screening and consent with you. Please do not send completed forms through the website enquiry helper.
A few useful
answers.
Can I contact Richard without a referral?
Yes. You can contact Richard directly to discuss a private appointment. If you plan to use health insurance, check your insurer’s authorisation and referral requirements before booking.
What happens at my first appointment?
You’ll talk about your symptoms, relevant health history and the activities you want to get back to. Richard will discuss the assessment with you, explain what he finds and agree the next steps. You can ask questions at any point.
Download your new patient form (PDF) and bring it with you. Richard will discuss the relevant consent sections at your appointment.
How much does an appointment cost?
Contact Richard for current fees, appointment lengths and availability before you book. Hydrotherapy arrangements may differ from clinic appointments; these should be confirmed in advance.
Do I need to be able to swim for hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy is not a swimming lesson. Tell Richard about your confidence in water, health conditions and any help you need getting into or out of a pool so he can assess suitability. Pool access and support must be agreed before a session.
Can I start with the exercise downloads?
Use the library for general information, not to diagnose a problem or choose a rehabilitation programme on your own. Ask Richard which movements suit you, especially after surgery, an injury or a diagnosed condition. The RJP exercise sheets are review copies until Richard has signed them off; the NHS links lead to the original guidance.
