New to physio? Here is What to Expect During Your Initial Assessment 🗒️
When you arrive at your first appointment, you’ll start by meeting your physiotherapist and discussing your medical history, previous injuries, current pain or symptoms, and how these affect your daily life. Then, together, you will discuss your personal goals for treatment!
Your physiotherapist will then perform a physical examination to assess your range of motion, strength, and movement patterns. They will conduct specialized tests to evaluate your coordination, balance, reflexes, or specific injuries.
Based on the findings, your physiotherapist will explain their diagnosis, begin initial treatment, and develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan may include exercises, education, manual therapy, and other techniques.
You can usually expect to receive some relief during your very first session!
