Clinical time, space and reasoning for your health story.
Book a single appointment, follow-up, virtual consultation or Body MOT screening with Dr Jo Abbott — designed for patients who need careful assessment, clear clinical reasoning and personalised support.
Start with the right appointment.

- Decide whether in-person or virtual care is suitable.

How booking works.
The booking process is designed to keep your care organised, clinically appropriate and properly prepared before you arrive.
Book a free call
Start with a short virtual consultation to discuss your concern and decide whether an appointment is necessary.
Choose the right route
Dr Jo will guide you towards an initial appointment, follow-up, virtual consult, Body MOT or package if appropriate.
Secure your booking
A deposit of £230 is often required to secure an appointment once the appointment has been agreed.
Complete your eForm
Your clinic waiver and medical history eForm must be completed at least 48 hours before your appointment.
Attend prepared
Arrive in suitable clothing, with relevant documents or images, ready for assessment, discussion and care.
Preparation helps Dr Jo make the most of your appointment time.
Once your appointment is scheduled, you will receive confirmation by WhatsApp and/or email. This will include practical information such as clinic location, parking, what to bring and your required new patient eForm.
The eForm is essential. No assessment, treatment or advice can be provided without it because Dr Jo needs time to review your medical history before your appointment.
Clinic location
You will receive directions to Dr Jo’s private clinic in Dorset. Free onsite parking is available.
What to wear
Loose-fitting clothing is recommended. Shorts and a vest are ideal. Avoid Lycra or tight clothing where possible.
Medical documents
Bring consultant letters, scan reports, medical images or CDs if relevant and not already uploaded to your eForm.
Arrival
At your appointment time, use the Ring doorbell by the gate and wait for Dr Jo to meet you.
What to expect during your appointment.
Appointments are designed to create enough time to understand your main concern, assess relevant systems, explain findings and agree sensible next steps.
Assessment and clinical reasoning
After settling in, Dr Jo will discuss your main concern and complete the most appropriate assessment for your case. This may include movement, posture, functional testing, musculoskeletal assessment or broader clinical screening where relevant.
Possible tests and treatment
Depending on your presentation, Dr Jo may use different forms of assessment, screening, treatment or clinical reasoning to identify the most useful next step.
After your appointment.
At the end of your appointment, Dr Jo will summarise findings, outline a plan and discuss whether follow-up care is needed.
Fees and payment
Final fees are calculated according to your appointment time and invoiced afterwards. Payment can be made by BACS, Apple Pay or credit card via Stripe.
Plan and progression
You may leave with next steps, treatment recommendations, a personalised plan, or guidance on whether further testing or follow-up is appropriate.
Ongoing support
Where needed, support may continue by email, WhatsApp or phone so that your care remains connected after you leave the clinic.
