Your Physiotherapy session

Detailed notes will be taken of your present condition, signs and symptoms and an appropriate medical history will be taken on the initial appointment.

A clinical examination and assessment will then be undertaken.  If you have back, hip or knee problems you may feel more comfortable wearing shorts.  Once a diagnosis has been made appropriate treatment will be tailored for you and specific goals/treatment plan will be compiled.

To fully asses your problem, you should expect the first session to last approximately 45 minutes to an hour.

Everyone's ailment is unique to them and we're keen to help where we can.  Please contact us to discuss your own condition.
