Your first visit

Your first appointment will usually take 60 minutes depending on the complexity of the problem. We will ask you many questions about how the problem started, where you feel your symptoms, what makes them better and what makes them worse. The better you know your problem the easier it is to help you.



Then we will carry out an appropriate physical examination involving a variety of tests and movements. Then we can put all the clues together and explain what we think is happening and why.

Often we use models of the joints and muscles involved so that you have a good understanding of the problem and how physiotherapy can help.   Most of the time we can start treating you within the first session.

Our aim is to get you better as quickly as possible so you will spread the word!   Word of mouth supplies most of our trade!

What to wear? Ideally, a T shirt for upper limb problems and shorts for lower back and lower limb problems.   We keep everyone as dressed as possible at all times! If we are honest, most people don't bother bringing shorts and we can work around what you are wearing .. it is not a big deal.
