Got a question?

Here are helpful answers to common queries about treatment, access and appointments. If you need anything else, just get in touch – we’re here to help.

How much does the assessment cost?

The comprehensive Halo Healthy Mother Assessment is £120. This includes a one-hour appointment, your bespoke rehab plan, and our exclusive recovery booklet.

When should I book my appointment?

We generally advise coming in around 6 weeks postnatal. However, if you are experiencing pain earlier, please contact us sooner.

I had my baby years ago, is it too late?

Not at all. Whether you gave birth six weeks ago or six years ago, we can still significantly improve your core strength.

Can I bring my baby with me?

Absolutely. We understand that finding childcare is difficult for new mums. Your baby is always welcome in our private treatment rooms.

Does it include an internal examination?

Internal checks are the most accurate way to assess pelvic floor strength, but they are entirely optional and only performed with your consent.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Please wear comfortable, loose activewear. We will be assessing your movement, posture, and core, so gym clothing is ideal.

Do you treat C-section scars?

Yes. Our clinicians are highly trained in evaluating and treating tight or painful C-section scars to improve your mobility and comfort.

Will you help me get back to running?

Yes. A major focus of our assessment is creating a safe, progressive loading plan to help you return to high-impact sports safely.

Referred to Paul at Halo via AXA, after three months of prior treatment but no progress. Great service, efficient booking system, and most importantly excellent treatment and rehabilitation. Paul diagnosed my disc issue quickly and set out a clear, concise and very effective treatment and rehabilitation regime. Improvement came in days, with symptoms gone and now pain free in a few weeks - his impact has been very significant. I highly recommend.

I’ve been coming for chair Pilates (new yo me after years of Pilates) and have been very impressed- I can really feel the benefits and it has motivated me to improve my fitness levels.I have also had a physio session which was so encouraging. The physio was able to pinpoint the problem so at last I feel able to do something! Excellent all round. Such a friendly reception by all the staff!

I went to see Andree at Halo to have a much needed massage. It was brilliant! A real deep tissue massage which tackled all the knots. Also a very nice practitioner, great conversation. I’ll be back, Andree.

Halo Physiotherapy provides an holistic and supportive environment from initial contact to treatment. I thoroughly recommend them. My initial meeting with Jude was incredibly positive and during our discussion, I felt in very good hands from someone who is clearly very experienced and importantly likeable. Throughout my appointment I felt listened to and given insightful advice and lots of positivity. I left with a plan tailored to my situation and felt incredibly well supported and in good and safe hands. Thank you so much.
