You’ll have an initial consultation before treatment begins to allow your physiotherapist to understand exactly what’s wrong and how best they can help you. During treatment, your physiotherapist might use their hands to relieve pain and improve your body’s movement, give you exercises to strengthen and boost your mobility and health, and make suggestions on changes you can make at home or work to prevent further injury or improve posture.

Physiotherapy uses movement, manual therapy, and exercise to promote recovery from injury, illness or disability. If you visit a physiotherapist, you’re likely to be encouraged to support your recovery by doing set exercises at home.

Physiotherapy is a regulated allied health profession that uses evidence-based movement, exercise, manual therapy, and education to rehabilitate injuries, manage chronic conditions, and optimise physical performance. Physiotherapists assess and treat musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions.

This really depends on your need and level of progress. Minor injuries may take 2-3 sessions to relieve; soft tissue injuries could take longer (6-8 weeks), and severe or chronic conditions could take two or more months. Physiotherapy is always tailored to individual needs, so it’s best to ask your physiotherapist how many sessions you’re likely to require.
