Frequently Asked Questions
Physiotherapy helps to restore, maintain, and make the most of a patient's mobility, function, and well-being. At Health for Keeps different treatment methods can be used. Each person is individually assessed. Client and physiotherapist work collaboratively an individualised treatment plan. Treatments may include:
-
Advice and education about the condition, including pain science education
-
Hands-on therapies
-
Therapeutic exercise
-
Mindful movement and;
-
Breathing control.
The initial assessment usually takes around 50 minutes to complete (sometimes a little longer for more complex problems) and follow up sessions take 25-30 minutes. Treatment of your problem can take some time, depending on the condition. So, it is likely that you will need to return for a number of sessions. It is rare that something is resolved in one session. This will be explained to you during your first assessment to help you to manage your condition and make the treatment program as effective and efficient as possible. This means that you will be given "homework" to do in between sessions to make the most of your time when you are at Health for Keeps and to progress your results at home.
Although mask mandates have been withdrawn, feel free to wear a mask if you wish. I can wear a mask too if necessary for your health.
