What is the physiotherapy process at East Care Physio?
Your physiotherapist is a health professional who will help you establish and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. This becomes especially important when your movement and function have been impaired. Often, this is needed due to injury, ageing, disability or disease.
- Assessment
- Diagnosis
- Planning and discussion of treatment options
- Treatment and rehabilitation plan
What to expect from your first Physiotherapy appointment
Typically, your first physio appointment may last 45 minutes.
- First, the physiotherapist will chat with you and take a thorough medical history.
- Next, they’ll start your physical examination.
- From this assessment, you and your physiotherapist will set treatment goals to restore or develop your potential.
- Finally, your East Care physio will then walk you through the proposed treatment. They’ll outline likely outcomes and probable time frames with you.
Naturally, you’re welcome to ask your Physio questions so that you can make informed choices about your treatment. Also, you may decline any treatment/s you do not wish to consent to and have the right to do so at any time.
Expect any subsequent physiotherapy visits to take approximately 30 minutes.
