Initial Consultations: An initial appointment will last approximately 40 minutes. This time will be taken to gather information on your specific physiotherapy needs, your general health needs and then to plan your treatment goals. The physiotherapist will explain your condition, discuss treatment options, including medical and surgical and other options, commence treatment and encourage active participation in the treatment process by giving you a series of rehabilitation exercises. Our goal is to stabilize your condition as quickly as possible and to ensure that you have an exercise program to prevent or minimize a recurrence of the problem.
Where we are not meeting our treatment goals we will work closely and correspond with your G.P to look at alternative management.
Standard (review) Consultations: The review consultation aims to re-assess the outcome of the previous treatment and if all is going to plan to progress treatment. A review consult generally takes 20-30 minutes at which time you will have the opportunity to ask any questions in respect to your management.
The relationship you have with your physiotherapist is paramount to the outcome of your treatment. If at anytime you feel uncomfortable or not confident in your practitioner, please ask to see another physiotherapist.
