Physiotherapy
The first appointment assesses the nature of the pain or injury using physical tests. Future appointments then focus on treatment.
Assessment & Physical Tests
Your first appointment will start with an initial assessment.
A physiotherapist will ask you many detailed questions about your pain or injury and what are your goals for treatment.
Next your physiotherapist may do several physical tests to determine things such as your:
Range of Motion (mobility and flexibility)
Strength
Ligament and Joint stability
Reflexes, Sensation
Nerve Tests
Swelling
Palpation (which specific ligaments, bones, joints, tendons are tender to touch
These tests are designed to help your physiotherapist diagnose your pain or injury, and then determine the best treatment plan for your condition.
