What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing physical impairments and disabilities. It involves using various techniques such as exercise, manual therapy, and education to help individuals improve movement, manage pain, and enhance overall physical function. The benefits of physiotherapy include improved mobility, pain relief, faster recovery from injuries, and the prevention of future physical issues.

How Long Until I See Results?
It depends on your condition, but many people feel improvement within a few sessions. Chronic or complex issues may take longer. Your physiotherapist will track your progress and adjust your treatment plan to help you reach your goals as efficiently as possible.
What to expect during your initial consultation
Detailed Health History Review
Your first physiotherapy appointment at Vitals Health begins with a detailed consultation. Your physiotherapist will take time to understand your symptoms, daily habits, lifestyle, and medical history. This helps identify the underlying cause of your condition and ensures a personalized, goal-oriented approach to care.
Physical Assessment
Next, you'll undergo a hands-on physiotherapy assessment to evaluate your posture, range of motion, joint mobility, muscle strength, flexibility, and functional movement patterns. These insights allow us to accurately diagnose the issue and determine the most effective path to recovery.
Personalized Treatment Plan
If appropriate, treatment may begin during your first visit. Your physiotherapist will design a customized care plan tailored to your goals—whether it's reducing pain, improving mobility, or enhancing athletic performance. Your plan may include manual therapy, exercise prescription, education, and modalities like TENS or ultrasound.
