What should I expect at my first physiotherapy appointment?
Your first visit is an assessment and a first treatment in one appointment. You will leave knowing what is going on, what the plan is, and what to do at home.
Step by step
- Conversation. Your physiotherapist asks how the problem started, what makes it better or worse, and what you want to get back to, whether that is a sport, work or sleeping through the night.
- Physical assessment. They check how you move, your strength, and which structures are irritated.
- Explanation. You get a plain-language explanation of what they found.
- Treatment. Depending on the problem, this may include manual therapy, dry needling and exercises.
- Plan. You leave with home exercises and a rough idea of how many visits to expect.
What to bring
- Shorts or a tank top so the area can be seen and moved
- Insurance information
- Any X-ray, ultrasound or MRI reports
