At your first appointment, your physiotherapist will welcome you into a private treatment space where you can share your story, your concerns and what matters most to you.

You’ll receive a thorough assessment of your movement, strength and relevant lifestyle factors. Your physiotherapist will explain the findings clearly and discuss a working diagnosis. Together, you’ll develop a personalised management plan to support your recovery and your goals.

Your plan may include a combination of education, hands-on treatment, dry needling, shockwave therapy, movement strategies, exercise therapy and a home exercise program. You’re welcome to use our on-site rehab gym to start your exercises before you leave.
