A conversation about you
A physiotherapist will typically discuss the concern, relevant history and everyday routines. This helps place a movement difficulty in the context of the person’s life.
A general guideUnderstanding
Understanding
a first visit
An initial physiotherapy appointment is generally about understanding the person, their movement and the activities that matter to them.
Looking at movement
An assessment may include observing movement and examining aspects of physical function, such as strength or balance, where relevant to the concern.
Identifying priorities
The discussion and assessment inform which goals are appropriate. The activities a person wants or needs to do help make those goals meaningful.
Discussing the direction of care
The professional can explain the findings and discuss suitable options and next steps. The format and any follow-up depend on the individual situation.
