FAQS
What should I expect at my first appointment?
At your first appointment you will be asked to fill a personal details and informed consent form, so it would be helpful if you can come a few minutes earlier than your appointment time. Your Physiotherapist will then take a detailed history of your condition. The physiotherapist will than make a physical examination, so if you can wear appropriate clothing it would very much be appreciated.
Following this the physiotherapist will explain their diagnosis, before, with your consent, treating your injury/condition. The physiotherapist may then give you some exercises to do at home and also offer advice on how alter certain activities and habits.
Do I need a GP referral?
