The Physiotherapist will first take a detailed history of your condition together with any past medical history which is relevant. To determine the clinical diagnosis of your problem a physical assessment will then be undertaken. 

The physiotherapist will discuss with you a proposed treatment plan and will give you an estimate as to the approximate length of time treatment would be required as well as the proposed outcome of your treatment.

The initial assessment can last up to an hour and subsequent treatment sessions may last between 25 to 45 minutes approximately. Every opportunity will be given to you to ask questions about your condition and advise regarding its management and possible prevention in the future.
