What To Expect

What to Expect at LOCAL Physiotherapy.

At LOCAL Physiotherapy, we aim to identify the root cause of your pain, create a customized treatment plan, and guide you on your healing journey. Our ultimate goal is to eliminate your pain and empower you to live your best pain-free life.
How To Prepare For Your First Visit With Us.

Please come 10 minutes early to your initial appointment to fill out a short intake form. You can download the form and have it ready for your visit here!

Think of any goals you may have. Are you training for a 10km race? Do you have a big trip coming up that you need to be pain free for? The more detailed we get with your goals, the more successful your rehab program will be!

During your initial assessment, your physiotherapist will start by asking you questions about your injury.

Following that they assess how you move and test to see which structures are injured. They will also investigate to find the root cause that has led to the injury.

They will then talk to you about their findings, your diagnosis, and what your treatment plan will consist of moving forward.  

 

What To Expect On Your First Visit

Following that they assess how you move and test to see which structures are injured. They will also investigate to find the root cause that has led to the injury. Don’t worry about trying to sum it up, we prefer the long version! 

Your therapist will then perform a detailed physical assessment to find out where your injury is and how specific body parts move. They will test the strength in the injured or affected areas, and assess how you move overall. 

Your physiotherapist will then talk to you about your diagnosis, and your specific treatment plan in order to achieve your goals!

 

 

What To Bring/Wear

Please wear clothing that you can move freely in.

If you are visiting us for a lower-body injury, we ask that you please bring shorts or sweat pants that don’t limit your ability to move. 

For upper-body injury treatment, please bring a shirt that you can easily move in.

Depending on your injury, we may ask you to bring your running shoes as well

Get back to living your pain-free life to the fullest!
