What is involved in a physiotherapy session?
Each session begins with a conversation about what you are currently experiencing in your physical body, your previous injuries and anything else going on in your life that might be relevant to your physical symptoms. I then assess the way you are moving (your biomechanics), looking at functional movement patterns that relate to your current issue. I assess strength and flexibility of any muscle groups that might be involved as well as breathing patterns, posture and general muscle tension that is stored in the body.
Together we come up with a treatment plan. Treatment often involves a mix of hands on therapy (massage, dry needling, muscle energy techniques, joint mobilisations) with movement based therapy, to optimise movement patterns and reduce areas of tissue overload that result in pain or dysfunction. Once we have identified non-optimal movement patterns I can provide you with specific exercises to build strength, optimise movement patterns, improve muscle balance and most importantly move with comfort and ease.
What to expect...
Initial and follow up Physiotherapy appointments
Initial appointments are 60minutes to allow me to fully listen to your story, do a thorough assessment and for us to come up with a treatment plan together.
Follow up appointments are 45minutes, allowing us plenty of time for hands on therapy as well as exercise based rehabilitation.
Referrals are not necessary unless you are claiming through MAIB, worker's compensation, DVA or under a GP Management Plan/Team care arrangement.
If no appointments are available on your desired day please email me at hello@gracerobertson.com.au to be added to a waitlist. I will contact you if there are any cancellations.
If you need to reschedule an appointment please give as much notice as possible. Less than 24hrs notice incurs a $50 late cancellation fee.
