What does a Physiotherapy Appointment involve?
An appointment with a physiotherapist will involve taking a relevant clinical history from the patient. The injured area is then assessed as well as other areas that may be contributing to the problem. The client is then informed of the results of the assessment and a suitable treatment programme is devised. Treatment programmes are individualized and will evolve based on the clients needs and the stage of recovery. Treatment may encompass modalities, i.e. ultrasound, interferential current, “hands on” treatment, specific exercises, or simply advice on how to manage the problem.
