What do I need to bring to the appointment?

Please bring or wear appropriate clothing. We usually ask that you don’t wear tight-fitting clothing. You may bring a pair of shorts or sweatpants and a t-shirt to the appointment, depending on which area we are treating. Sometimes we may ask you to bring your running shoes as well.

Why do you need to know what type of medications I take?

Physiotherapists take into account your overall health to put together the most appropriate treatment plan for you.

Different medications can affect your treatment plan; such as changing how long your injury takes to heal or lowering your tolerance to exercise.

Medication side effects can also cause some common symptoms we see in the clinic, so knowing the medication you take helps with diagnosing your problem.
