EXPECTATIONS
What to Expect During Your Visit
For your initial appointment, your physiotherapist will perform a full assessment to evaluate your overall physical condition and to understand any specific issues you may be experiencing. You will be asked to fill out a medical history prior to your appointment as it is important to understand any previous accidents or traumas experienced, medications you are taking, and family history of illness. Various tests may be performed, such as gait and postural analysis, range of motion, and muscle strength. Please wear appropriate loose-fitting clothing. We have some shorts available for use at the clinic. Following the assessment, you will receive a full treatment session.
