What to Expect

Before your appointment, please fill in the New Patient form via your booking confirmation email. Come in comfortable clothes that you can move in, and allocate an hour for your first session.

During your session your physio will talk through your history, and perform some objective tests (physical tests). Your physio will provide you with a clear picture of your diagnosis, your prognosis, and they will discuss best practice recommendations to help you get back to your goals. You will map out the treatment plan together, including how long treatment will take, and the different phases of the treatment plan.

Your Plan of Care is is written according to  your individual needs and goals. All our treatments are hands-on and evidence-based.

phases of physiotherapy

Phase 1:

• Decrease pain and increase range of motion.

• Treatment is manual therapy based, which may include mobilization, manipulation, soft/deep tissue massage, therapeutic exercises/functional movement, cupping, dry needling, and education.

Phase 2:

• Increase range of motion & increase strength

• Treatment is focused on teaching YOU how to move properly and correctly for YOUR body to smash your goals and prevent re-injury in the future, and also to prevent reliance on physiotherapy. We wean off the manual therapy and focus more on hands-on, exercise based, physiotherapy treatments.

Phase 3:

• Education and creating habitual movement patterns to Future Proof your body to prevent the injury from returning and to prevent future injury.

• Treatment is primarily hands-on and exercise-based, consisting of tailored, tissue-specific, therapeutic exercises. In addition to physiotherapy, a range of techniques are incorporated to help you reach your rehab goals, including Calisthenics, Pilates, Barre, and Functional Movement Therapy.
