Physiotherapy - AssessmentNew patient
“When you see a Physiotherapist, they will complete an extensive assessment that may include your health history, evaluation of pain and movement patterns, strength, joint range of motion, reflexes, and sensation. Based on this assessment, your Physiotherapist establishes a diagnosis and works in partnership with you to develop individualized goals and treatment programs.
See a Physiotherapist if you have an injury or chronic pain that affects your everyday function. You may also benefit from physiotherapy after a hip replacement surgery, heart attack or stroke.
**AN ASSESSMENT IS REQUIRED IF YOU ARE A NEW PATIENT, A RETURNING PATIENT WITH A NEW INJURY/CONDITION, OR IF IT HAS BEEN LONGER THAN 6 MONTHS SINCE YOUR LAST PHYSIOTHERAPY APPOINTMENT**”
