What to Expect from a Physiotherapy Session ?

During a physiotherapy session, the therapist conducts a comprehensive assessment, reviewing your medical history and current concerns. This may involve physical examinations, movement analysis, and discussions about daily activities. Based on this assessment, a personalized treatment plan is developed, which may include exercises, manual therapy, education on posture and movement, and pain management strategies. The therapist will set realistic goals and provide guidance on achieving them.
