What to expect in your first Physiotherapy appointment

We need to know about you before we start any treatments so we can make sure we are supporting you as best we can. When you arrive, we’ll ask you to complete a short form and then you’ll go into your appointment with your Physiotherapist.

We’ll start by getting to know you better. We’ll ask a few questions and review your medical history. This information will help us understand who you are, your goals and your circumstances to help us identify what could be causing your pain or injury and determine the best way to treat it.

From here, we’ll explain your diagnosis and treatment plan and treat you. Your treatment may include soft tissue massage, stretching, mobilising joints and exercise. Our Physios may also use dry needling or ultra sound therapy.

We may also send you home with a series of home exercises to help you strengthen or mobilise a certain area of your body. These physiotherapy exercises will help you take control of your pain.
