What you can expect from your first visit
To determine if physiotherapy is going to help you solve your problem, we will get you in as soon as possible. The first appointment will take just under an hour, and we’ll ask you a series of questions about how the problem started, where you feel your symptoms, and what aggravates or alleviates them. The better you know your problem, and the sooner you seek treatment, the easier it is for us to help you.
Next we will examine the area/s involved (maintaining your modesty at all times of course) to fully diagnose the root cause of the problem. We can then discuss treatment options, treatment techniques, expected length of recovery, and what you can do at home to manage the problem yourself. Our aim is to get you better as quickly as we can, so you get back to your ‘whole life’ as soon as possible.
What should I wear?
To assess you properly your physiotherapist may need you to undress down to your underwear. Please bring shorts because they may be suitable for some treatments.
Is what I say confidential?
Everything you tell your physiotherapist is completely confidential.
