What Can You Expect During Your First Physiotherapy Visit?
During your initial consultation, our physiotherapist will conduct a thorough assessment and discuss your medical history, symptoms, and any specific concerns. This will be followed by a physical examination to evaluate your movement, strength, flexibility, and functional abilities.
Based on the assessment, a tailored treatment plan will be created to address your specific needs and goals. In addition, our physiotherapist will provide practical advice on managing your condition and preventing further issues, ensuring you feel informed and supported throughout your treatment journey.
How Long Will The Treatment Last?
The duration of your treatment will depend on several factors, including the nature and severity of your condition, your individual treatment goals, and your response to therapy. Our physiotherapist will provide an estimated timeline during your initial consultation and will regularly review your progress to ensure you are on track to achieving your goals.
Treatment plans are flexible and may be adjusted based on your evolving needs and improvements.
What Should I Bring to My Appointment?
To make the most of your physiotherapy session, please bring comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. It is also helpful to bring any relevant medical records, such as imaging reports or referral letters, as well as a list of current medications you are taking. If you are coming for a lower limb issue, please wear or bring appropriate footwear.
These preparations will help ensure your physiotherapist has all the necessary information to provide the best possible care.
