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.

Myotherapy FAQs
Is Myotherapy suitable for everyone?
Our Myotherapy is suitable for most people, including athletes, office workers, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic pain conditions. However, certain medical conditions or contraindications may affect eligibility for treatment. Our Maidstone Myotherapist at Alpha Sports will assess your suitability during your initial consultation.
What techniques are used in Myotherapy sessions?
Myotherapy sessions may incorporate various manual therapy techniques, including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, cupping therapy, dry needling, and corrective exercises. These techniques are tailored to address individual needs and goals.
What conditions can Myotherapy treat?
Myotherapy can effectively treat a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, headaches, sports injuries, tendonitis, and postural imbalances. It can also help manage chronic pain conditions and improve overall mobility and function.
What is the difference between massage and myotherapy?
