What to Expect in Your First Physiotherapy Session
Initiating your recovery can be quite an intimidating prospect, especially when you have never undergone such a thing. At K 7 Physiotherapy, we strive to make your very first physiotherapy session as comfortable, informative, and catered to your needs as possible. Whether you are in recovery from an operation, looking after a neurological condition, or in fact, trying to handle musculoskeletal discomfort, gaining back strength, mobility, and freedom is what we strive for.
What Happens During Your First Physiotherapy Session
At your first appointment at K 7 Physiotherapy, your physiotherapist will try to understand you and your medical background. This will include detailed discussion of your present condition, past medical history, medications you could be taking, and your lifestyle. It is this context that allows us to go forth with creating an individual treatment plan for you.
You’ll then undergo a thorough assessment, which may include:
- Functional analysis to evaluate how your body moves
- Gait assessment to understand your walking pattern
- An analysis of any aids or equipment you currently use
From this, we’ll set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals that are aligned with what you hope to achieve from physiotherapy.
Personalised Care at K 7 Physiotherapy
Every client at K 7 Physiotherapy receives an individualised care plan. Your first physiotherapy session is the foundation on which this plan is built. Based on your assessment, our specialist, Senthil, who has over 21 years of clinical experience, will design a programme that includes targeted exercises and treatments to improve your condition. Whether you take home visits, you’ll receive professional and compassionate care.
What to Wear and Bring to Your First Physiotherapy Session
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows free movement
- Bring any referral letters, test results, or prescriptions
- Prepare a list of questions or concerns to discuss with your physiotherapist
These steps will help you get the most out of your first session.
After Your First Physiotherapy Session
With the exit knowledge, one leaves having understood with complete clarity what his or her treatment plan is going to be, including what exercises need to be carried out at home. Simple exercises are also provided by K 7 Physiotherapy so that you and your caregivers can use them in between sessions and stay on track with performing the routines.
Follow-up sessions will reassess your goals, depending on your progress; however, the plan will be changed accordingly with building that confidence in movement and independence.
