Physiotherapy can help with a wide range of physical conditions, including back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, arthritis, stroke, and more. Physiotherapists work with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that are tailored to their specific needs and goals.

During your first physiotherapy appointment, your physiotherapist will likely ask you questions about your medical history, current symptoms, and goals for treatment. They may also perform a physical examination to assess your mobility, strength, and flexibility. Based on this assessment, they will develop a personalized treatment plan for you.

The length of physiotherapy treatment can vary depending on the nature and severity of the condition being treated, as well as the individual patient's goals and progress. Your physiotherapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Many insurance plans do cover physiotherapy services, although the specifics can vary depending on the plan and the provider. It's a good idea to check with your insurance provider to see what is covered and what the process is for submitting claims.

In many cases, a referral from a doctor is not required to see a physiotherapist. However, some insurance plans or healthcare systems may require a referral for coverage. Check with your insurance provider or healthcare system to see what their requirements are.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily, and bring any relevant medical records or imaging results with you. You may also want to write down any questions you have for your physiotherapist ahead of time.
