Treatment at Restore Physiotherapy

Initial assessment

For standard musculoskeletal problems your first appointment will last approximately 30 minutes.  Your therapist will take a detailed history of your symptoms then perform a thorough examination. At this point you may be asked to undress to allow a full examination of the body area you are having problems with. You are welcome to bring along a chaperone to your treatment sessions if you wish. From this information your healthcare needs can be discussed including an indication of what type of treatment is required and approximately how many appointments you will need for the resolution or management of the problem. A treatment plan will then be agreed with you.

For chronic pain, fatigue and vocational rehabilitation, your first appointment will take 60 minutes, as these problems tend to affect a greater number of aspects of your life, requiring a more detailed investigation of your situation.
