What happens at the first physiotherapy appointment?
At the first appointment your physiotherapist will take a full history and perform various tests and assessments to determine the clinical diagnosis of your injury.
How long is a physiotherapy appointment?
Depending on the nature of your injury the assessment could range from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours in length. This will be discussed prior to your assessment. The number and length of follow-up visit can also vary and will be discussed once your initial assessment is completed.
Do I need a doctor’s note for physiotherapy?
Physiotherapists are regulated health professionals and therefore you do not need a doctor’s note to see one.
