Your goal
Think about the movement, work, training or daily activity you want help getting back to.

What to expect at your first physiotherapy visit.
Your initial assessment is set aside for understanding the problem, explaining what matters and making the next step clearer.
Assessment before assumption.
60
Minutes for the initial assessment.
Time to hear the story, assess the problem in context and explain the next step. Confirm current availability and pricing through the clinic before booking.
Prepare once. Spend the visit on what matters.
You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis. A little useful context simply means more of the appointment can focus on understanding the problem and the goal.
Check funding preparationUseful history
Bring relevant scans, reports or post-operative guidance if you already have them.
Comfortable clothing

Inside the first visit
Understand first. Then move forward.
Listen
Start with what happened, what has changed and what you need to return to.

Look at movement, load and the context around the problem—not only the painful area.
Explain
