What happens at your first appointment?

A physiotherapy assessment will always include:

1. Conversation and goal setting: We’ll talk about your concerns, symptoms, and what you’d like to get back to—work, sport, training, or just daily life without pain.

2. Medical and injury history: We’ll review your relevant health history, past injuries, imaging, and any treatments you’ve already tried.

3. Movement and function assessment: This includes looking at your range of motion, strength, control, and how you move during tasks that matter to you (lifting, running, sitting, etc.).

4. Clear explanation and education: You’ll get a straightforward explanation of your likely diagnosis and what’s driving your symptoms, plus what you can do to support your recovery.

5. Initial treatment: When appropriate, we’ll begin treatment in your first session. This might include hands-on techniques, dry needling/IMS, targeted exercises, or strategies to modify activity and load.

6. Plan going forward: Together, we’ll discuss how often you may benefit from treatment, what to work on between sessions, and realistic timelines for progress.
