Our Holistic Assessment Process
Providing the treatment that helps you to get on with your life starts by understanding you and your symptoms. Our physiotherapy assessment helps to clarify diagnosis and develop treatments by taking into account individual preferences, lifestyle factors, and the treatment goals of the client and the therapist.
Our overall management of your problem involves:
- Listening to you to understand the background to your injury or problem
- Observing and assessing your movement and your overall physical condition
- Analysing and identifying your problems
- Providing education regarding the presenting problem or injury and possible solutions
- Developing a treatment program with you and, where appropriate, your family or carers and other members of the health care team
- Implementing and managing the treatment or training program based on your jointly agreed goals
- Evaluating progress, modifying treatment if necessary, and stopping treatment once goals have been reached
- Promoting and guiding self-management of chronic conditions
Physiotherapy treatment helps to alleviate symptoms and quickly restore movement, function and the resumption of usual activities, including work and sporting pursuits.
