What Happens at Your First Physiotherapy Appointment?

Your first appointment usually includes a discussion about your symptoms, health history, activities and goals. Your physiotherapist may then assess movement, strength and function to help identify factors contributing to your problem.

Depending on your needs, your appointment may include:

• Discussion of your symptoms and relevant medical history
• Assessment of movement, strength and everyday function
• An explanation of the assessment findings
• Hands-on treatment where clinically appropriate
• Individualised rehabilitation exercises
• Advice about work, exercise, sport and symptom management
• A plan for reviewing progress and adjusting treatment

Assessment findings and treatment options vary between patients. Your physiotherapist will explain the recommendations and discuss your preferences before treatment.

When Should You Consider Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy may be useful when pain, stiffness, weakness or reduced movement affects work, exercise, sport or daily activities.

An assessment can also help when symptoms keep returning, recovery has stalled or you are uncertain how to progress your activity safely.

If you have new or worsening weakness, altered sensation or other unexplained neurological symptoms, seek appropriate medical assessment. Sudden severe symptoms may require urgent medical attention rather than a routine physiotherapy appointment.

What Should You Bring?

• Relevant scans, medical reports or referral documents, if available
• Comfortable clothing that allows the affected area to be assessed
• Your private health fund card if you intend to claim
• Relevant funding or insurance information
• A brief list of your main work, sport or daily activity goals

Referral requirements, eligibility and rebates depend on your circumstances. Call Clayfield reception before booking if you need help selecting the correct appointment or funding pathway.
