What to expect from your Physiotherapy Assessment
During your initial consultation, your Physiotherapist will ask you some questions about your symptoms and will then ask to assess the problem area. To properly assess you, your Physiotherapist may need to see the affected area. For a lower limb condition, it would be useful if you could bring a pair of shorts to change into, similarly for an upper limb condition bringing a vest top to change into would be useful. For a lower back condition, it would be useful to bring both shorts and a vest top so that the Physiotherapist can see the whole of your spine and lower limbs.
If you feel uncomfortable about the examination, you can bring someone with you or ask us to arrange a chaperone to be present during the examination. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have at any time during your session, your Physiotherapist will be more than happy to explain things to you.
After your assessment, your Physiotherapist will discuss their findings with you and propose a treatment plan tailored specifically to your goals.
