Question 3

What do I expect to happen during our consultation?

Accepted Answer

Your physiotherapist/exercise physiologist will sit down with you and discuss what you have been experiencing in order to better understand your problem, along with discussing your goals and expected outcomes from the sessions. They will then assess you and discuss what they have found. From here the necessary treatment will be provided.
Appropriate exercises will be prescribed and your physiotherapist can inform you on how many treatments you may require and how long it should take for you to reach your goals.

Question 6

What should I wear for the appointment?

Accepted Answer

For a thorough assessment and treatment it is ideal for your physiotherapist/exercise physiologist to observe the area of concern. Therefore it is advised that for lower back and lower limb injuries that shorts are to be worn. For neck and upper limb injuries a singlet top is recommended. If you have any concerns with this please do not hesitate to discuss any issues with your physiotherapist/exercise physiologist.
