Consultation Overview

At Aspire Physiotherapy we understand that you are paying for our time and expertise. As such, we do not “double-book” and treat only one client at a time. We believe exercise prescription, education and manual therapy are the cornerstones of successful Physiotherapy intervention. For that reason, use of “machines” is minimal, and application of electrotherapy, dry needling and spinal traction are used as adjuncts to therapy and are generally applied in addition to a nominated “face to face” time with your Physiotherapist, (30-45 mins for Initial Consultation, up to 30 mins for Follow up/Standard Consultation)

Initial Consultation

We undertake a 45 minute Initial Assessment and Treatment. We believe this allows us to better assess your complaint, provide you with adequate information about your injury/condition, provide “hand’s on” treatment as required and ensure you are confident with any home exercises and can perform them independently and safely at home. Please arrive 10 minutes early for your Initial Assessment to fill out client information and consent forms and bring any relevant x-rays/scans.

Follow-up Consultations

We offer 2 types of Follow-up Consultations. For a single area, we provide a session of up to 30 minutes, during which we will review your progress and home exercise program, and provide further treatment. We also offer a Long Consultation (30-45 minutes) if you have multiple injury areas (including both legs or both arms) or a complex injury.

Following treatment it is normal to experience some post-treatment soreness for a couple of days, (often the second day is worse). This occurs due to changes we have made to the tissues that they are not used to, and associated inflammation. This pain will settle and will lessen at following sessions. If you are concerned about your level of pain or it is not settling as expected, please contact us. Gentle movement throughout the day will help prevent stiffness and reduce the associated pain.
