Assessment and Physical Examination
Our experienced physiotherapist conducts assessments using detailed history-taking as well as specific physical tests and measures, such as flexibility or range of motion. He or she will then analyze the physiotherapy assessment findings and use clinical reasoning to establish a diagnosis. The first consultation with your physiotherapist primarily will be an individual assessment.
Based on the clinical findings from the assessment, treatment is tailored to your individual needs. Treatment includes education in the self-management of the problem, general/specific advice, and exercises. It may be necessary to include any one of a variety of manual therapy (hands-on treatment by the physiotherapist); and inclusion in an exercise class.
