What should I expect the first time I attend?

On arriving at the Physiotherapy Department please report to reception / a member of staff.

Your Physiotherapist will introduce themselves to you before asking you a series of questions. These questions are vital to enable your Physiotherapist to fully understand any problems you have.

Following this they will carry out a physical examination. The findings of this examination will be discussed with you and together a treatment plan and treatment goals will be set.

• Initial appointments are normally up to 30 – 45 minutes long.
• Follow-up appointments are normally up to 30 minutes long.
• Group sessions can be up to an hour long depending on the class.
