Arrival
On arrival, you can park right outside the treatment room door. If you are early, please wait until your appointment time to knock.
Initial conversation
An initial appointment begins with a conversation about your symptoms and medical history. This helps ascertain whether you are in the most appropriate place for treatment. If your symptoms are not best managed with physiotherapy, advice will be provided, and you may be referred to a more appropriate health practitioner.
Next, your movement will be assessed to ascertain what might be causing your symptoms. This may require removal of some clothing. It would be helpful if you could wear loose trousers, leggings or shorts and a t-shirt or vest top.
Treatment options
Finally, findings are discussed and treatment options explored. Treatment may include some or all the following: exercise prescription, education regarding your condition or injury and how to manage it, hands-on treatment such as massage, mobilisation of joints and assisted stretching.
