Before Treatment Begins
Understanding Your Symptoms and Movement
Physiotherapy should not begin with a standard treatment package. The first step is understanding your symptoms, medical history, functional limitations and recovery expectations.
The assessment helps the physiotherapist identify relevant movement restrictions, weakness, balance limitations and activities that increase or reduce symptoms.
The findings are then used to recommend an appropriate physiotherapy service, home programme or medical referral when required.
