NHS or private physiotherapy in Derby

The NHS says physiotherapy is free on the NHS but there may be a long waiting list. You can also ask a GP whether physiotherapy might help. Private clinics charge their own fees, which HealthWise doesn't publish, so ask what a first assessment costs and how many sessions they expect.

What to check before you book

None of the 16 Derby listings has a CQC record in our data, so the professional register is the main check. The NHS says a private physiotherapist should be chartered (MCSP after their name) and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

  • Physiotherapists and podiatrists: search the free HCPC register.
  • Chiropractors: search the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) register.
  • Osteopaths: search the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) register.
  • CQC: if a clinic says it's CQC registered, check its rating and latest report on the CQC website.

If you need medical help right now, use NHS 111. If you have signs of a life-threatening illness, call 999. Our physiotherapy and MSK guide has more background. This page is information to help you choose a clinic, not medical advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

HealthWise lists 16 physio & msk clinics in Derby, in postcode areas including DE1, DE22, DE21.
No. You can usually book private physiotherapy, osteopathy or chiropractic directly, without a GP referral. NHS physiotherapy normally requires a GP referral or, in many areas, self-referral.
All treat musculoskeletal problems but train and are regulated differently. Physiotherapists (and podiatrists) are registered with the HCPC, osteopaths with the General Osteopathic Council, and chiropractors with the General Chiropractic Council. The right choice depends on your problem and preference.
It varies with the condition and how you respond. A clinician should assess you and explain a likely plan at your first appointment. Be wary of anyone promising a fixed cure in a set number of sessions before assessing you.
