What to expect at Sports Medicine Experts during your first PHYSIOTHERAPY appointment:
Arriving at our physiotherapy center is similar to arriving at any medical office!
Here is what you can expect:
- You will register at the front desk when you arrive at our office. We’ll ask for your insurance information and any other paperwork you may have brought with you (i.e., referral, X-ray or MRI report, other medical reports)
- After that, you’ll have your initial evaluation with one of our physiotherapists. Our therapists conduct a thorough assessment, including your past medical history and your current pain, illness, or injury. This is essential to helping you, so please be open and honest with us. We genuinely want to listen and understand your problem(s) and provide you with the best possible solution!
- Our physiotherapist will conduct a comprehensive physical examination to evaluate your range of motion, strength, and movement patterns during your appointment.
- Based on your evaluation findings, our physiotherapist will devise a therapy plan for you. On the first day, you will likely receive an explanation, education, and some treatments to alleviate any pain you are experiencing and initiate your recovery. Each session after that will build on the initial evaluation to create the most significant impact possible for each therapy session. The goal will be to help you recover as quickly as possible and achieve meaningful, lasting results.
- Our Dundas & Ancaster, ON therapists will record their findings and treatment plan, and they can give those to any medical expert of your choosing.
At your first session, our therapist will discuss your goals and, based on sound reasoning and clinical experience, determine how long and how frequently you should attend your physiotherapy sessions.
You will arrange the remaining sessions at the front desk before leaving your initial appointment at Sports Medicine Experts.
You may contact us at any time if you have any questions. We want to make sure you are comfortable as you get back to normal as soon as possible.
