Frequently Asked Questions
You should wear some clothes that are loose fitting and easy to move in. If your problem is from the hip down, a pair of shorts would be ideal. If you have a shoulder problem, a sports top or vest would be ideal so that your therapist can see the shoulder joint. If you don’t own any shorts don’t worry, we always keep a couple of spares in the clinic!
When you arrive you will be greeted by whoever is on the desk (usually Marcus, Sandra or Kirsty) and offered a drink. We recommend our famous coffee! Please arrive 10 minutes early so that we can get any details needed and you can enjoy your drink before your allocated session time.
Usually you will feel absolutely fine, and have better tools to manage your pain from the get go! Occasionally you may feel a little sore for a few days after your session, particularly if you’ve worked muscles that haven’t been worked for a while or if you needed a lot of hands on treatment in the first session. If that’s the case, please continue with your exercises and it will settle down within 48 hours.
On a rare occasion, depending on the treatment you needed, you may have slight bruising. If that’s the case please don’t panic – it’s just your body’s response to some of the hands on treatment and will disappear within a few days.
The only difference between our Telehealth online physio consultation and in-person, is instead of using hands-on techniques like massage or release work, we do a lot more exercise based treatment where we coach you through specific exercises to help you take the next steps on your treatment plan towards a full recovery.
