Initial assessment

On your first appointment you will be seen by a member of the Physiotherapy Team.

The physiotherapist will discuss with you the reason for your referral. They will then undertake a thorough assessment, which will take up to 45 minutes.

You will be asked questions about how your problem affects you as well as your general health and lifestyle. This will be followed by a physical examination in order to determine what might be responsible for producing your symptoms.

At the end of the assessment, the physiotherapist will explain their findings with you and discuss a proposed plan of action including the need for any further appointments. Every opportunity will be given for you to ask questions.
