Service overview
An initial physiotherapy assessment is the first step in understanding your condition and creating a treatment plan that’s tailored to you. It involves a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and goals, alongside a physical examination to identify the root cause of your pain or limitation. This thorough approach ensures your treatment addresses not just the symptoms but also the underlying contributing factors.

What to expect?
Initial Discussion
Your physiotherapist will begin by asking about your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and personal goals. This helps build a clear picture of your condition and how it affects your daily life.
Examination & Findings
A physical assessment will follow, looking at movement, strength, flexibility, posture, and any contributing factors. The findings will then be explained clearly, so you understand what may be causing your symptoms.
Planning Ahead
Together, you’ll outline the best treatment approach, tailored to your needs and goals. You’ll leave the session with a clear plan of action and advice on the next steps in your recovery.
Treatments available
Following the assessment, a personalised treatment plan will be created to help you achieve your goals. This may include a combination of manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, movement correction, or other specialist treatments.
Your physiotherapist will also discuss the expected timeline for recovery and arrange follow-up sessions to monitor your progress, adapt the plan as needed, and keep you moving towards a safe and lasting recovery.
