Physiotherapy

Initial Consultation

This will involve taking a history of the current problem and then performing a physical examination. Based on these findings, we will devise a treatment plan for you that may involve exercise, movement correction, advice and ‘hands-on’ techniques. You will also learn techniques to use at home to manage your problem, which may include an exercise program and advice. You should allow approximately 45 minutes for the initial consultation.

Book Consultation

Standard Consultation

This will begin with an update on your symptoms since your last visit and then we will re-assess certain aspects of your original physical examination. Most of our time will be spent on treatment which will usually be a combination of ‘hands on’ techniques, exercise prescription, movement correction and advice. You should allow approximately 30 minutes for a standard consultation.
