Physiotherapy helps restore or maintain health in people affected by injury, illness, or disability. It is a science-based profession that looks beyond just the affected body part—physiotherapists consider the whole person in their approach to rehabilitation. Active participation in your care is important. Treatments may include manual therapy, massage, acupuncture, electrotherapy, and tailored exercise programs. These techniques aim to:
- Relieve pain
- Improve mobility and reduce stiffness
- Decrease inflammation and muscle tension
- Support and speed up the healing process
What to Expect at Your First Physio Visit
We want you to feel comfortable, supported, and fully informed from the very start. During your first appointment, your physiotherapist will carry out a thorough assessment to understand which structures are contributing to your pain and what might be causing it. Once we know what’s going on, we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan focused on reducing your symptoms, addressing the root cause, and helping you return to the activities you love as soon as possible.
Your first visit will include:
- Complete assessment - Identify the source and cause of your pain.
- Discover your options - Explore the treatments and strategies available to you.
- Start a custom treatment plan - Tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
- Discuss your fitness and health goals - So your recovery aligns with what matters most to you.
Together, we'll set a clear path forward to get you moving, feeling, and living better.
