Treatments
Your appointment will last between 45 and 60 minutes and your initial appointment will include a detailed assessment of your problem and how it affects you. We will ask questions about the symptoms, how the problem started, what makes it worse and what makes it better. We will use evidence based therapeutic practice adhering to the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy codes of professional conduct and your treatment starts by obtaining your informed consent.
Treatment is tailored to you as an individual – not an ‘off the peg’ approach. We will look at the area involved and let you know what we think is is happening. You will receive detailed explanations as well as exercise plans and guides to self management. We will then suggest how we will treat the problem, what techniques we might use, how long it might be expected to take to get better and what you can do at home to treat yourself. The first session will also involve actually treating the problem as well.
Treatment often includes hands on therapy so you may wish to wear loose fitting clothing. Shorts are often useful. You may be asked to remove clothing for examination.
Please notify us if you intend to cancel at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. Cancellation charges may apply if prior notice is not received.
