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 may be contributing to your symptoms and together, we’ll agree on a treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals. This may include advice, exercises or a whole range of techniques that are informed by current clinical evidence.

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of:

  • What may be causing your symptoms
  • What you can start right away to help improve them

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.

Help With 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 at 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.

Physiotherapy can help with many other problems too. If you’re not sure whether physiotherapy is appropriate for your symptoms, please get in touch and we can talk it through.

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 which may include advice, exercises and a range of techniques supported 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 and whether physiotherapy is the right approach for you.

Follow-up appointments are an opportunity to review how things have been going, check your progress and adjust your treatment plan where needed.

Your exercises and advice may change as you improve, and treatment can be adapted to suit how you are progressing. The aim is to make sure each appointment is useful and that you know what you can work on between sessions.

Everyone is different, so there isn’t a set number of sessions. It will depend on your symptoms, your goals and how you respond to treatment. Your progress will be reviewed throughout your treatment, and your plan will be adjusted as needed. The aim is to help you make progress and give you the knowledge and tools to manage your symptoms independently.

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.

If you need to rearrange or cancel your appointment, please get in touch as soon as possible. Your booking confirmation will contain the relevant information about cancellation and rearrangement. Sometimes something unexpected happens, so I ask that any changes are please given with at least 24 hours notice.

As I work on a 1:1 basis, if you’re unable to give at least 24 hours notice, payment for the full appointment will be required as the appointment cannot be offered to someone else. 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.

“Lisa made me feel extremely comfortable and relaxed at my first appointment. She is really knowledgeable and provided me with instant relief. The aftercare provided is also brilliant. Will be booking future sessions.“
