What happens during a private physiotherapy session?
During your initial physiotherapy assessment, your physiotherapist will work to understand your problem and structure a tailored rehabilitation plan.
How many physio sessions will I need?
Regular physiotherapy treatment typically results in an improvement in a patient’s symptoms within 4-6 sessions. Speed of improvement is dependent on the patient, their overall health, and their specific issue. If things are not improving as expected, we may recommend a different treatment plan or suggest seeking alternative methods.
Will physiotherapy help avoid surgery?
The answer depends on your specific circumstances. Physiotherapy is a conservative (non-operative) treatment which is normally the treatment that is recommended first before surgery.
