What do Therapists do?
Depending on where the issue is the Physio may ask you to remove some clothing. Is advisable to come with shorts if it is an issue with your lower back, hips, or legs and perhaps a singlet if the issue is in your back, shoulders, neck, or arms. It’s important that you are comfortable and that the physio can see the area well. Don’t worry if you don’t have shorts, the clinic will have a spare pair.
The Physiotherapist will then observe as you do some basic movements in standing, sitting, or lying. They may also move your limbs to check flexibility or may palpate (feel) to get a sense of what is happening in the tissue. Generally, the tests are pain-free but some may cause mild discomfort.
Be sure to give your Physiotherapist feedback on how it is feeling. This will help them determine what tests to do and will help narrow down to find the true cause of the symptoms.
