Your first physio or osteo
appointment: what to expect
When seeing a practitioner for the first time, the initial consultation will usually consist of:
Case history
The practitioner will ask you to tell your story in order to gain a detailed account of your condition.
Physical examination
The physical exam may sometimes involve you needing to remove some of your clothes. Should this be necessary, the practitioner will always offer you the opportunity to wear a gown, shorts or other modesty item, which would be provided to you, as required.
Treatment Plan/Management
After the history and detailed assessment your practitioner will propose a plan of treatment and/or management for your condition. The practitioner may think it necessary to refer you for:
- other tests, such as imaging (x-rays, CT, or MRI scans, as appropriate) or blood tests
At Active Therapies, your Physiotherapist or Osteopath will always discuss these options with you, and the choice to proceed with any referral will always be yours.
