What can I expect from my Physiotherapy session?
Our physiotherapist will need to begin by asking you a number of questions regarding your injury and any previous or current medical history that is deemed appropriate. This will enable them to have a greater understanding of your issue.
Once a history has been taken the physiotherapist will then need to progress to a physical examination, which will involve looking at the problem area and performing some movements / tests with you in order to determine a diagnosis.
Once a diagnosis has been established your physiotherapist will then explain and discuss with you potential treatments for your condition. Treatment can then commence and the physiotherapist will use objective measures which will be recorded in your notes to keep a objective repeatable, measure of your progress throughout treatment.
