What is an initial physiotherapy consultation?
Your initial physiotherapy consultation lasts approximately one hour and includes a comprehensive assessment to help establish a potential diagnosis, understand possible contributing factors, and determine the most effective treatment for both recovery and ongoing management. This session allows us to develop a holistic and tailored approach that aligns with your needs and life-style, helping you take the first step toward improved movement and long-term well-being.
What are the key aspects of an initial physiotherapy consultation?
✔️ Have an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle factors, and any previous treatments to gain a full understanding of your condition.
✔️ Assess movement and function through specific exercises to identify areas of weakness, stiffness, or imbalance affecting your mobility and overall physical health.
✔️ Use manual techniques such as joint mobilisation or myofascial release (if appropriate) to relieve tension, reduce pain, improve flexibility, and restore movement.
✔️ Provide education on your condition, explaining the underlying causes of your symptoms and equipping you with practical self-management strategies to support your recovery.
✔️ Develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs, outlining the best course of action to help you regain strength, mobility, and confidence in movement.
✔️ Set SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound) goals to track progress and ensure your treatment aligns with your long-term health and activity plans.
