WHAT TO EXPECT...
REBOOT Physiotherapy prides itself on providing a thorough patient focused service to achieve exceptional outcomes!
INITIAL APPOINTMENTS - 60min
At your first appointment your physiotherapist will complete a thorough assessment aimed at determining the cause of your problem.
Initially you will get a chance to tell your story about the injury you have and then we will ask you a few questions to get detailed information to make an accurate diagnosis.
After this a whole body movement assessment will take place. Have you ever wondered how that old ankle injury is affecting your knee pain? During this assessment we will determine the cause of your current symptoms allowing us to target treatment at the cause and not just symptom management.
On most occasions treatment will begin in this session, for more complex injuries that require more detailed assessment, treatment may begin on the first review.
FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENTS - 45min
During your follow up appointments we will always start by reviewing symptoms since the last session and re-assessing our key findings.
From there we are into treatment and starting to make you feel and move better. Exercises and advice on what to do between sessions will also be provided.
