Q: What do I expect from my first physiotherapy treatment?
A: For your initial consultation/ assessment, the Physiotherapist will document your full medical history, which will be followed by a thorough assessment guided by the presenting complaint(s). This information will be used to isolate the cause, form a physical diagnosis, and structure a treatment plan with you aimed at reducing pain and restoring pain-free function.
Q: Do you have facilities for in-patients?
A: Not currently, but we have arrangements with an affiliated guest house for clients from out of town, or requiring frequent rehabilitation sessions.
Q: What do I need to come along with for a physiotherapy session?
A: We suggest you wear shorts and a shirt (possibly sleeveless) as this improves access for required assessment, and unhindered movement for exercise. You may also come along with any diagnostic imaging ( Xray/MRI) or report if available.
