Your First Physiotherapy Assessment

It’s about more than finding where it hurts.

Before your appointment, we’ll send you an online registration form where you can tell us about your problem, relevant medical history and what you’d like us to help you achieve.

During your appointment your Physiotherapist will:

  • Review the information you’ve provided
  • Give you time to explain your symptoms and concerns
  • Perform an appropriate physical examination
  • Explain what we think is causing your problem in straightforward, jargon-free language
  • Discuss the different treatment options available
  • Provide treatment where appropriate
  • Give you advice, exercises or rehabilitation to get you started
  • Agree a plan for what happens next

Sometimes the most important outcome of an assessment is recognising that physiotherapy isn’t the right next step.

If we believe further investigation or another healthcare professional would be more appropriate, we’ll explain why and help guide you towards the appropriate next step.

What Should I wear?

Your Physiotherapist will need to properly examine the area involved and sometimes the areas around it.  You may therefore be asked to expose the relevant area during your assessment.  Bringing shorts or suitable loose-fitting clothing can be helpful.

Treatment Designed Around You

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to physiotherapy.

Your treatment will depend on your condition, your goals and what we find during your assessment.

Treatment may include:

  • Hands-on manual therapy
  • Soft-tissue techniques
  • Individual exercise and rehabilitation programs
  • Strength and movement assessments
  • Gym-based rehabilitation
  • Shockwave therapy, where appropriate
  • Acupuncture or dry needling
  • Therapeutic Ultrasound
  • Advice, education and self-management strategies

Most importantly, we’ll explain why we’re recommending a particular treatment and how this fits into your recovery.

Additional Technology When It’s Useful

Our clinics have access to additional assessment and rehabilitation technology that can be incorporated when clinically appropriate.

This includes objective strength and performance testing using VALD systems, and for selected muscle, tendon and soft-tissue conditions, Point of Care Ultrasound imaging.

Think you may need an Ultrasound Scan?

For certain conditions, ultrasound imaging can provide useful additional information alongside your physical examination.

We offer a dedicated Physiotherapy Assessment with Ultrasound imaging for patients where this may be appropriate.

Not every injury needs a scan. If you’re unsure, a standard physiotherapy assessment is usually the best place to start.

From Pain to Performance

Feeling better is often only the beginning.

Our aim is to help you understand your problem, restore movement and strength and give you the confidence to return to the activities that matter to you.

With private treatment rooms, rehabilitation facilities and access to extensive gym equipment at our Bristol Clinic, we can progress rehabilitation from the treatment room through to higher-level strength and performance work where required.

Ready to Get Started?

For most new problems, simply book a Physiotherapy appointment with one of our Physiotherapists.

You don’t need a GP referral and you don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong before you come to see us.

We’ll assess your problem, explain our findings and help you decide on the most appropriate next step.
