PRIVATE PRESCRIPTIONS I ALTRINCHAM
This Nathan Hall Performance offers private prescriptions in Altrincham through an integrated, evidence-based model of care. As an independent prescriber, I can assess, prescribe, and manage appropriate medication as part of a wider rehabilitation and performance plan - without unnecessary delays or referrals.
Private prescribing allows faster access to medication when clinically indicated, particularly for people dealing with musculoskeletal pain, inflammatory conditions, or recovery-limiting symptoms. Importantly, medication is never used in isolation. Every prescription forms part of a structured plan focused on long-term improvement, not temporary relief.
As a prescribing physiotherapist, my role is to consider medication in the context of the whole person - movement, loading, recovery, lifestyle, and goals. This ensures prescribing decisions are appropriate, proportionate, and aligned with best clinical practice.
Private prescriptions may be helpful when pain or inflammation is limiting progress with physiotherapy or daily activity, or when timely access to medication supports recovery.
Private prescriptions may support:
Musculoskeletal pain management
Inflammatory conditions
Tendinopathies and bursitis
Joint pain affecting rehabilitation
Short-term symptom control to enable movement and exercise
Every prescribing consultation includes a full assessment, medical screening, and clear explanation of risks, benefits, and alternatives. Medication is prescribed only when necessary and reviewed as part of ongoing care.
This integrated approach reduces fragmentation and ensures that medical management supports, rather than replaces, rehabilitation and active recovery.
