Your first appointment
Here is what to expect from your first visit, from booking through to agreeing a plan.
- 1
Booking your appointment
Get in touch by phone or email and we will find a convenient time. Let us know a little about your injury or condition so we can allocate enough time for your assessment.
- 2
Initial assessment
Your physiotherapist will ask about your symptoms, medical history and what you are hoping to achieve. This is followed by a physical assessment to understand what is going on and what might be contributing to it.
- 3
Discussing our findings
We explain what we have found in plain terms, without jargon and talk through the options available. You are welcome to ask questions at any point.
- 4
Agreeing a treatment plan
Together we agree a plan suited to your goals and your schedule, including how often you might need to be seen and what to expect over the coming weeks.
- 5
Ongoing sessions and home exercises
Later sessions build on the plan, with progress reviewed regularly and adjustments made if something is not working as expected. Most patients are given exercises to continue between visits.
