What to expect?

  • On your initial session the Physiotherapist will take a history of your current complaint/injury and any other previous injuries/medical health history as this can affect the treatment plan and diagnosis.
  • Following this the Physio will assess your movement generally as a whole person and joints above and below the affected area. I.e. If it’s you hip, your lower back and knee will be assessed too.
  • Appropriate treatment will be carried out following the findings and diagnosis, whether this be manual therapy, acupuncture, soft tissue release, taping or a combination of all.
  • Throughout the session you will be educated on what you can be doing yourself to help with the injury and empowering you to help where you can.
  • At the end, an exercise program will be given and sent out via a program called Physitrack. Rehab to compliment your current training is always taken into consideration and will often help you achieve your goals.
