Who Can Physio Help?

Physio assessment for muscles and joints

What happens at your first appointment?

We’ll chat about your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and goals. I’ll carry out a detailed assessment to understand what’s contributing to your symptoms. Together, we’ll develop a personalised treatment plan that may include advice, exercises and a wide range of techniques clinically backed by research.

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of:

  • What may be causing your symptoms
  • What can help improve them
  • What you can do between appointments
  • Whether physiotherapy is the right approach for you

You can access private physiotherapy in Lincoln and get support fast to help you recover, progress and feel able to manage and improve symptoms in a supportive and friendly clinic.

Finding Out the What & Why

Whether it’s a new injury, an old ‘friend’ returned, an issue that’s never quite gone away or you’re post surgery, physio can help. We’ll run through a thorough assessment to drill down into what’s happening and how to get things progressing in the most effective way possible. We’ll find ways to help you to gain better movement, strength and function.

New or Long Term Conditions

Our understanding of the body and how to best treat it, evolves constantly with new research and evidence. It’s often vital to look at the body as a whole and not just a symptom, as there can be various causes and ways to help. If you haven’t found the answer yet – don’t give up! You just haven’t found the right way for you yet and that’s where physio can help to find it with you.

Improve Walking or Balance Issues

If you’re feeling unsteady on your feet, have noticed changes in your walking or posture, have a neurological condition or are experiencing falls, physiotherapy can help. Assessment can identify what factors are affecting your balance and mobility, with treatment focused on improving strength, movement and function.

More Than Sports Injuries

When you’re in pain, it can be difficult to know whether to rest, exercise, seek treatment or simply give it time. Maybe you have joint pain, balance problems, post-operative recovery or aches and pains that aren’t going away. Physio near to Lincoln can help you understand your options and make a plan that’s right for you.

At your initial consultation, a thorough assessment will help us to understand what you need and how we can achieve it – you just need to book the appointment. You’ll have a thorough assessment to help diagnose the issue, put together a plan to reach your goals, and start the program straight away. It will usually include a combination of a movement and exercise program, advice and education (to ensure you remain the expert of your body) and hands-on therapy if needed.

Physiotherapy is a team effort between you and the therapist you’re working with, so the more you learn in the clinic room, the more you can replicate it on your own outside the room where the real lasting change happens! We’re always here to help, but want you to feel empowered and able to self-manage as much as possible.

After the initial session, depending on what you and your therapist think would work best for you, you can arrange a follow up appointment to help you get to where you want to be.

To give you the best possible chance of achieving the results you want, you will need to practice the advice and follow the program(s). This will also reduce the risk of complications or re-occurrence of an injury or issue, so you can get on with living a life that you don’t feel held back from.

The number of physiotherapy sessions you may require can vary greatly depending on several factors. These can include the nature and severity of your condition, your individual health history, your personal goals for recovery, and how your body responds to treatment.

Our aim is to help you experience positive changes as soon as possible. While clients often report these after 1-2 sessions, many will see lasting improvements within 4-6 sessions. However, it’s important to note that every individual’s recovery journey is unique. Some may need fewer sessions, while others with more complex or chronic conditions may require ongoing treatment over a longer period of time.

At your initial assessment, your physiotherapist will develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals. This will include an estimated number of sessions required for your recovery. Throughout your treatment, your progress will be regularly reviewed and the treatment adjusted as necessary to ensure you’re on track towards meeting your goal(s).

We always strive for efficient and effective treatment, aiming to get you back to your regular activities as soon as possible while ensuring long-term success in managing your condition.

In most cases a doctor’s referral is not required for physiotherapy at our clinic, meaning you can make an appointment with us directly.

However, there are a few exceptions where a doctor’s referral might be necessary. For instance, if your health insurance provider requires a referral for coverage, or if you have a specific medical condition that needs a doctor’s clearance before undergoing physiotherapy – an example of this would be recovering from a recent fracture.

If you’re unsure whether you need a referral, feel free to contact us, and our team would be happy to assist you. Remember, our primary goal is to make your path to recovery as smooth and straightforward as possible.

For your physiotherapy sessions, it’s best to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement. You’ll want to choose clothes that will allow the physiotherapist to easily access and assess the area of your body that requires treatment.

For instance, if you’re attending a session for a knee issue, wearing shorts would be ideal. For upper body issues, a sleeveless top is often a good choice. Depending on the nature of your treatment, you may be doing exercises or stretches, so it’s essential to wear something you can move freely in.

As for footwear, trainers or other comfortable, closed-toe shoes are typically recommended if your treatment involves standing or walking exercises. Please avoid wearing excessive jewellery, and if applicable you may wish to tie back long hair, to ensure it does not interfere with your treatment.

Please remember that your comfort is paramount during your physiotherapy sessions, and we want to ensure your clothing helps rather than hinders your progress.

When an appointment is booked, the time is not available to anyone else to book. I know that sometimes things come up and plans need to be changed, so I ask that any appointment that needs to be cancelled or rescheduled, is changed with at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment time. You can cancel the appointment via your client portal up to 24 hours prior or get in touch.

As I work on a 1:1 basis, where an appointment is not cancelled with at least 24 hours notice, payment for the appointment will be required. Please do get in touch if you have any concerns or questions regarding this as I would like you to feel 100% comfortable about any booking you make.
