What to Expect at Your First Physio Consult

If you’ve been putting off booking a physiotherapy appointment, you’re not alone. Sometimes not knowing what to expect is enough to keep us stuck. Here’s a simple rundown of what your 40-minute consult at Sum of Us Studio actually looks like, so you can walk in feeling calm and ready.

From the door to the treatment room

When you arrive, you’ll start by filling in a short intake form. From there, your physio will come and take you through to the treatment room. Feel free to have a look around the studio on your way in. We love introducing people to the space.

Getting to the bottom of what's going on

Once you’re settled, your physio will begin with a subjective assessment, a conversation about what’s been bothering you, how it started, and what’s making it better or worse. From there, things get hands-on. Your physio will observe how you move, assess your functional range, and build a clear picture of where your pain is coming from.

Leaving with a real plan

By the end of your consult, you won’t just have answers. You’ll have a personalised set of exercises designed to strengthen and support your specific issue. And because paper has a way of disappearing, your physio can film the exercises on your phone so they’re always right there when you need them.
