In short

Physiotherapy in London costs more than the UK average — roughly 70 €–95 € for a private clinic session and 100 €–140 € for a home visit at many providers — because of premises costs, travel time and parking. NHS physiotherapy is free but waiting times vary sharply by borough. Home visits are popular in London because travel is often the biggest barrier to attending a clinic.

What physiotherapy in London costs

London prices sit noticeably above the national average. Central London clinics commonly charge 80 €–110 € for a first session and Greater London clinics 65 €–90, € while home visits from London providers are often 100 €–150 € depending on the borough. Many Londoners combine an NHS referral with a handful of private sessions to bridge the waiting period and get an accurate diagnosis quickly.

FlexAura charges the same in London as everywhere else: 110 € for a first home visit, 99 € for follow-ups, 450 € for a five-visit package and 45 € for an online consultation, with travel included. See the London home physiotherapy page for the areas covered.

How to choose physiotherapy in London

  • Confirm HCPC registration on the official register before booking anyone.
  • Give your full postcode, floor number and parking situation when booking a home visit — many London physiotherapists cover specific boroughs only.
  • Check whether your employer or insurer already covers physiotherapy. Many London workplace policies do.
  • Ask about packages. Five-visit packages are common in London; FlexAura's is 450, € which works out at 90 € a visit against 99 € for single follow-ups. See prices.
  • Because premises and travel costs vary so much across the capital, comparing two or three quotes is worthwhile, particularly between central and outer-borough providers.
Physio-Tipp: If you live in a flat with narrow stairs, say so when you book. A physiotherapist who sees your actual stairs gives far more useful advice than one working from a description.
