Your first consultation will involve a detailed examination and assessment which is individually tailored to your needs. Your physiotherapist will listen carefully to the type of problem you describe and analyse what structures could be affected and how they should be examined.

The conclusions from this session form a plan of treatment and can be used to predict how much treatment you might need and how much improvement you can expect to acheive.
