What does Physiotherapy Treatment Look Like?
Your first appointment will be an assessment. Your physiotherapist will take a detailed health history and find out what’s bothering you. They’ll ask lots of questions to understand your unique circumstances and goals.
 |
Next, your physiotherapist will perform some tests to assess how you’re moving and gain a better understanding of what’s happening in your body. Be prepared to move a little here! Once your physiotherapist has gathered your history and performed tests specific to your concerns, they’ll propose a treatment plan. |
As long as it’s appropriate, your first visit will include treatment. Treatment could include: manual therapy, exercise, movement, acupuncture, ultrasound, laser, paraffin wax, or cold therapy.
You’ll leave with a plan for how to move forward and maybe even a little homework - but don’t worry! We provide videos, pictures and written instructions to help you remember your exercises so you can perform them at home.
