Appointments

What can I expect?

During your first appointment, the physio will ask a few questions regarding your condition and medical history. This will be followed by a thorough assessment to determine the likely cause of your problem and how this is related to your symptoms. They will then decide on the best course of treatment and begin treating you there and then. Typically, an initial Assessment will last between 45 minutes and an hour. For more information on the types of treatment that might be used, read our Physiotherapy page.

What happens next?

The physio will give advice on how to manage your condition or any pain you are experiencing. Often they will recommend specific exercises to do at home to help maintain mobility and improve muscle balance. If you need further treatments, the physio will recommend a follow up visit at a convenient time for you. A follow up visit lasts 30 minutes during which the physio will briefly reassess your condition and progress, and will then continue with the course of treatment.
