What happens at your first physiotherapy appointment?

Your first physiotherapy appointment is all about understanding your problem and building a plan to get you moving comfortably again.

When you arrive at Back to Basics Physio, your physiotherapist will:

  1. Take time to chat through your symptoms, lifestyle and goals.

  2. Perform a gentle physical assessment — looking at movement, strength, and any painful areas.

  3. Explain what’s likely causing your issue in clear, simple terms.

  4. Begin hands-on treatment (where appropriate) and give you tailored exercises to start improving straight away.

We’ll always discuss what you can expect between sessions and how long recovery might take.
Most clients notice progress within the first few visits — our focus is getting you back to normal life as quickly and safely as possible.

💡 Tip: Wear loose, comfortable clothing so you can move easily.
