Frequently Asked Questions

Please find below a list of frequently asked questions and their relevant answers. If your question would not appear in the below list then please do not hesitate to contact us.

1. What will happen on my first visit?

To be able to treat your condition effectively it is crucial that the Physiotherapist fully understands what your problem is and how it affects your daily living.

Hence the Physiotherapist will start by asking you lots of questions and establish your past medical history and medications you are prescribed.

Then an appropriate physical examination takes place taking into account the severity and irritability of your condition. We will always aim to assess you without aggravating your symptoms.

Once we have completed the physical examination we are then able to provide you with a diagnosis. Advise you on the possible treatment options and its effectiveness on your condition. We can then also inform you how many visits you require and advice what you can do to help yourself.

Greater results are achieved when your Physiotherapist and you work closely together towards a common goal. Too often patients seem to be spectators to their treatment and we certainly aim to avoid this.

If there is sufficient time left after the assessment the physiotherapist may do some treatment to you or may advise you on self help and exercises.

2. What type of clothing do I wear?

You can attend Physiotherapy in your normal clothes. If you have lower limb problems then shorts can be usefull to bring. There are shorts available at the Centre.

We also recommend ladies to wear a "vest" when we assess neck and shoulders. Please do inform your Physiotherapist if you are unhappy about removing certain types of clothing for religious reasons etc.

Patients attending our hydrotherapy pool are asked to bring their own towel and swimming gear.
