Your Physiotherapy Initial Consultation – The Key to Your Recovery

I strongly believe that your initial consultation is the most important session we’ll have. This is where I get to know you - not just your condition, but how it’s affecting your daily life, your ability to do the things you love, and what’s most important to you.

During this session, we’ll take a thorough look at your symptoms to fully understand what’s going on and how best to support your recovery. We will discuss how your symptoms impact you, and what you want to achieve from treatment. I’ll also learn about your personal approach to managing your condition, which helps me tailor your treatment in a way that truly works for you.

We’ll carry out a comprehensive assessment to get to the root of the issue, allowing us to make an accurate diagnosis and develop a plan that fits your lifestyle. This isn’t just about treating symptoms - it’s about creating a plan that feels manageable, effective, and designed specifically for you.

By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear understanding of what’s going on, what we can do about it, and how we’re going to work together to get you back to where you want to be.

To help you achieve your goals, we have a variety of treatment options available, tailored to your specific needs. Depending on your condition and what works best for you, your treatment plan may include:

✔ Soft tissue mobilisation and release - hands-on techniques to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and restore mobility.
