What to expect
We offer both face-to-face and virtual appointments. Based on your referral, the physiotherapy team will advise on the most suitable appointment for you. If you prefer a virtual consultation, please let us know.
During your initial consultation, your physiotherapist will take a detailed history and listen to your goals. Following an assessment, your physiotherapist will develop a working diagnosis. Together, you will create an individualised treatment plan to help you achieve your short- and long-term goals.
If we are unable to diagnose your problem or if you do not improve through virtual consultations, we may recommend a face-to-face appointment for further assessment.
Appointments
Dress appropriately for the area of the body to be assessed or treated—wear or bring shorts for any lower limb or spinal issues.
