Question 1

How do I book a private physiotherapist in Northern Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Pick a physiotherapist from the list above, then choose a day from their availability. Where a practice has connected its booking system to Quokka you complete the booking here. Otherwise we pass you through to the practice's own booking page to confirm the appointment — either way you have chosen a named physiotherapist in Northern Ireland before you get there.

Question 2

How quickly can I see a physiotherapist in Northern Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Every physiotherapist listed shows a fortnight of availability, so you can see which days have appointments before you click through. Clinics in Northern Ireland often have same-week appointments, and where a clinician's next free slot falls beyond the fortnight we show that date instead.

Question 3

How many private physiotherapists are there in Northern Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Quokka currently lists 81 private physiotherapists across 17 clinics in Northern Ireland. That is the number with a live listing today, each shown by name with their own availability, and it changes as clinics are added.

Question 4

How much does a private physiotherapist appointment cost in Northern Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Fees are set by each practice, not by Quokka. Where a clinic publishes its prices we show them on the listing so you can compare physiotherapists in Northern Ireland before booking. Prices vary with appointment length and with the individual clinician, and a first appointment is often longer and dearer than a follow-up.

Question 5

Do I need a GP referral to see a private physiotherapist in Northern Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Usually not — most private physiotherapists accept self-referral, so you can book directly. Some treatments need a referral first, and if you are claiming on private medical insurance your insurer will normally want one. Check with the clinic if you are not sure.

Question 6

Can I see a physiotherapist in Northern Ireland at the weekend or in the evening?

Accepted Answer

Some can. The availability shown against each physiotherapist covers every day of the fortnight, weekends included, so you can see at a glance which physiotherapists in Northern Ireland have Saturday or Sunday appointments. Evening opening varies by clinic — the practice's own booking page shows the exact times on any given day.

Question 7

How up to date is the availability shown for physiotherapists in Northern Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Availability is read automatically from each practice's own booking system and refreshed through the day, so it can be a few hours old. On listings a practice has not yet claimed, Quokka cannot confirm the times — treat them as indicative, and the practice's own booking page as the final word on what is free.

Question 8

Are private physiotherapists in Northern Ireland regulated?

Accepted Answer

Clinics carrying out regulated activities must register with the Care Quality Commission, and where we can match a practice to its CQC registration we show the rating alongside the date it was inspected. Not every kind of private clinic is CQC-registered, so an absent rating does not mean a clinic is unregulated. Individual physiotherapists are also registered with their own professional body, which you can check by name.

Question 9

Can I choose which physiotherapist I see in Northern Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Quokka lists physiotherapists in Northern Ireland individually — by name, with their clinic, their qualifications and their own availability — so you are choosing a particular physiotherapist rather than taking whichever appointment a practice offers next.
