When you first attend Kaizen Physiotherapy, your physiotherapist will:
- Ask you some general questions with regards to your general health, occupation and hobbies and specific questions relating to your symptoms and how they may be affecting your everyday life.
- Assess your condition during a physical examination and make a diagnosis.
- Discuss your goals from physiotherapy.
- Design and plan a programme to meet your goals.
- Advise on activities for daily living or return to sport.
- Liaise with other medical professionals e.g. your GP, with your permission, on your condition and progress as necessary.
Do I need to be referred by a Doctor for Physiotherapy?Bob Stokes2021-03-23T17:03:42+00:00
No, you can self-refer to physiotherapy and we also accept referrals from GPs, Consultants, Public Health Nurses, complementary therapists and other healthcare providers.
What payment options are available?Bob Stokes2021-03-23T17:01:28+00:00
We accept cash, cheque or electronic card payment.
What will I need to bring to my Physiotherapy appointment?Bob Stokes2021-03-23T16:59:41+00:00
Please bring a list of any current medications and any scan results eg. MRI with you to your first appointment.
You will need to expose the affected area; therefore, you might be more comfortable in a pair of shorts for low back or leg issues. Ladies may also prefer to bring a vest top for an upper limb issue.
