WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR FIRST SESSION
New to Activ Therapy? Here's what you can expect when you come in to see us.
Your first visit
At Activ Therapy our goal is to ensure that we understand your problem and that you leave understanding the steps needed to reach a solution.
When you arrive you will be provided with a health questionnaire to help us understand the main issue that you are attending with and to ensure we maximise your consultation time. One of our skilled therapists will then welcome you in to the consulting room to commence your consultation,
The purpose of the initial consult is to find the cause of the problem. The therapist will conduct a history of your condition and other relevant issues and then perform a physical examination. It may be appropriate to expose the injured area at this time and if so gowns and draping will be provided. Any relevant scans and reports will be reviewed and then your therapist will be able to provide you with an initial diagnosis.
At Activ Therapy we understand it is important to get immediate results and achieve pain relief so to complete the session the therapist will provide treatment to provide pain relief and assist with the addressing issues found during the examination. A variety of techniques could be utilised however we pride ourselves in our skill as manual therapists so in many cases we will utilise joint mobilisations and myofascial release techniques.
At the end of the session the therapist will conduct a re-examination and assist in you in finding a booking for your following appointment. This will usually take place 1-2 days after the initial assessment.
