What To Expect

At your first appointment, the physiotherapist will make an initial assessment of your condition by asking about your current problem as well as your past medical history and lifestyle.  After gaining a better understanding of your problem, she will proceed to a physical examination. 

The physical examination will involve you making some simple movements as the physiotherapist assesses your mobility and range of movement. She will feel areas of your body and muscles as you perform the movements and then make a diagnosis of your problem and a suitable course of treatment.

Your treatment may involve the use of different techniques such as massage, mobilisation, craniosacral therapy or electrotherapy. The practioner will discuss these with you and their effects. Specific exercises for the problem area will be given for the patient to carry out at home.
