What to expect from physiotherapy?

The first thing to do is to book an initial assessment with a physiotherapist before the pain gets worse. Unless you have a recommendation from a friend or family member of a physiotherapist, choose a clinic near your work or home and consider seeing if there is a clinical specialist near you. Also, even though you can directly access a physiotherapist, some insurance companies require a doctor referral. Please check with your insurance company.

At the end of the assessment, your physiotherapist may give you a physical diagnosis. You can ask questions like “How long do you think it will take for me to get better?” Your physiotherapist will also let you know that it is normal if you are sore after the assessment for a day or so, and you may also feel tired immediately afterwards. They will also propose a treatment plan based on your goals.
