Question 5

What should I expect during my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

At your initial assessment our physiotherapist or sports therapist will spend a bit of time talking through the full history of your symptoms so we can get a clear understanding of your issues. This will be followed up by an assessment of your movement patterns and strength, we will then spend some time talking through what's wrong, why it’s sore and what we are going to do to help you. In most initial assessments there will then be some hands-on treatment and a rehab plan will be individually designed to your needs. Check out this social post below on what to wear:
