What physiotherapy involves
Physiotherapy uses physical assessment, manual therapy, graded exercise and patient education to manage musculoskeletal, neurological and respiratory conditions. A typical first appointment includes a history, range-of-motion and strength testing, and an initial treatment plan combining hands-on therapy with home exercises.
Consultation length: Initial consultations are typically 45–60 minutes; follow-ups 30 minutes.
Follow-up: A typical rehabilitation plan involves 4–10 visits over 6–12 weeks combined with daily home exercises, with reassessment at each visit and discharge once goals are met.
