This article will walk you through each step of your initial experience with us, ensuring you're well-prepared for your first visit.
What to Expect Before Your First Visit
Booking Your Appointment
Your path to recovery starts with booking your appointment. You can easily schedule a visit through our website or by calling our clinic. When booking, it's crucial to share key details such as your medical history and any specific symptoms or areas of concern you might have. This initial information helps us in preparing for your consultation more effectively.
The Clinic Environment
Our clinic offers a welcoming and comfortable environment. We believe in creating a space that supports healing and relaxation.
Reception and Initial Paperwork
Upon arrival, our friendly reception team will greet you and assist with any initial paperwork. This is a great time to ask any questions you may have about the session.
The Initial Consultation
Your first session will start with a consultation with one of our skilled physiotherapists. They will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and perform an initial assessment. This process helps us understand your condition and form the basis of your personalised treatment plan.
Creating Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Post-assessment, we'll discuss our findings with you and propose a treatment plan. This plan is not set in stone; we value your input and will adjust the approach to align with your comfort and goals.
What to Bring and How to Dress
We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy movement and access to the area being treated. If you have items like orthotics or braces, bring them along as they might be relevant during your session.
After Your Visit - Next Steps
After your appointment, we'll guide you through the next steps. This may include scheduling follow-up sessions or providing exercises to do at home. Our team is always available to offer support and answer any questions post-visit.
