Services & pricing
What we treat, what it costs, and what to expect.
Three disciplines under one roof, priced individually so you know what you're booking before you book it.
Chiropractic
Spinal manipulation and extremity adjustment, explained before it happens.
Dr Marcus Hale treats back and neck pain, cervicogenic headache, sacroiliac joint dysfunction and disc-related symptoms using spinal manipulation, extremity adjustment and posture analysis. Most patients feel pressure or a stretch, not pain — and a first adjustment can always be made gentler on request.
| Initial consultation, 45 min | £68 |
| Follow-up, 20 min | £44 |
Physiotherapy
Manual therapy and a programme built for the movement you actually do.
Elin Bowen treats sciatica, tendinopathy, frozen shoulder, ACL and post-surgical rehab, and general MSK pain, combining manual therapy and soft-tissue release with an exercise programme designed around your sport, job or daily routine — not a generic handout.
| Initial assessment, 60 min | £78 |
| Follow-up, 30 min | £54 |
Podiatry
Biomechanical assessment through to fitted orthotics, in the same building.
Priya Chauhan runs Plinth's 3D gait lab, treating plantar fasciitis, ankle instability, diabetic foot care and general nail and skin concerns, including custom orthotics scanned, cast and fitted on site.
Biomechanical assessment & gait analysis
Static and dynamic gait analysis, full lower-limb biomechanical exam.
Custom orthotics
Assessment, 3D scan, fitting and one review, cast to your own gait.
General podiatry
Nail surgery, verruca treatment and diabetic foot risk assessment.
Every discipline, same process
Whichever of us you see, the pathway is the same.
Assessment
History, movement, gait or biomechanical exam — 45 to 60 minutes depending on discipline.
Diagnosis & plan
Written plan, plain-English explanation, realistic timeframe.
Treatment
Hands-on care, adjustment or podiatric intervention, plus a home programme.
Review & discharge
Checked against your plan, discharged when the function's back.

Insurance & self-pay
Most private medical insurers cover physiotherapy and podiatry in full.
Most policies require pre-authorisation before your first appointment — call the musculoskeletal line on your insurance card and quote our practice details, or ask us and we'll talk you through it. Chiropractic cover varies more by insurer and policy tier than physiotherapy or podiatry does, so it's worth checking before you book if you're planning to claim. Self-pay patients are just as welcome, and pay at the time of appointment.
Before you write
Questions we're asked most
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. All three disciplines at Plinth are self-referral — you can book directly without seeing your GP first. If you're claiming through medical insurance, check with your insurer, as some require pre-authorisation or a referral before they'll pay.
Will treatment hurt?
Most manual therapy and chiropractic adjustment feels like pressure or a stretch, not pain. Tell your clinician if anything's uncomfortable — a first chiropractic adjustment can always be modified to be gentler on request.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Loose clothing that lets us see and move the joint or area involved, any relevant scan or GP letter you already have, and a list of current medication. For podiatry, bring the shoes you wear most often.
How many sessions will I need?
We won't know until we've assessed you — anyone who quotes a number before that is guessing. Your written plan sets out a realistic range, reviewed at every appointment.
Is my insurance accepted?
We work with Bupa, AXA Health, Vitality and WPA. Most require pre-authorisation before your first appointment — call your insurer's musculoskeletal line first, or ask us and we'll talk you through it.
