Frequently Asked Questions

Your first appointment lasts for either 45-minuter or one hour to allow enough time to fully discuss and assess your problem. 

You will be asked a number of questions about your problem, how it is affecting you and what impact it is having on your life, along with what you would like to achieve. You will also be asked questions about your medical history and any medication you take. 

Following this, your physiotherapist will conduct a thorough physical examination. They will then explain why you are experiencing your symptoms and discuss treatment options.

Your physiotherapist will then start treatment to relive your symptoms. They will also provide advice on management strategies that you can be doing in between sessions to help improve things faster.

Please bring any x-ray or scan results or any reports about your condition to the first appointment. Please also bring a list of your current medication.

To fully assess your condition, it may be necessary to remove some clothing. A vest top or a pair of shorts can be helpful.

The number of sessions needed will vary depending on your condition. After you have been fully assessed in your first session, your physiotherapist will discuss a treatment plan with you.
