FAQs

An initial appointment will take around 30 minutes. Your Physio will ask you a few questions in regard to your current problem and conduct a physical assessment to determine the cause of the problem. From the assessment findings, the therapist uses this information to form a clinical diagnosis and to plan an individualised treatment plan for you. Treatment will commence during the first appointment and may include hands- on treatment and exercise prescription.
