What does a physio do?
A physiotherapy session involves our physiotherapist taking you through a comprehensive professional physical assessment followed by a diagnosis of your specific problem.
The physiotherapist helps you understand what causes the problem and related injuries as part of our educational approach to integrating the treatment with your lifestyle. This is then followed by a variety of treatment techniques and exercises to assist your return to mobility and full function.
The average physiotherapy session varies from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
