At Village Physio, we understand that taking the first step towards physiotherapy can feel a little daunting—especially if you are experiencing balance issues, arthritis, or mobility challenges. That is why our home-based physiotherapy service is designed to be comfortable, supportive, and tailored just for you.
If you or a loved one are considering physiotherapy, here is what you can expect at your initial assessment and treatment appointment.
Step 1: A Friendly Welcome & Understanding Your Needs
Your first appointment is all about you—your health, your goals, and what’s important for your independence. Our experienced physiotherapist will take the time to:
Listen to your concerns about mobility, pain, or strength
Understand your medical history and any past injuries or conditions
Discuss your daily challenges (e.g., difficulty getting up from a chair, climbing stairs, or walking safely)
We work closely with you and your family to ensure a personalised, compassionate approach to your care.
Step 2: A Gentle Movement Assessment
Next, your physiotherapist will assess your movement and mobility to identify areas of weakness, stiffness, or imbalance. Depending on your condition, this may involve:
Checking your walking pattern and balance (if you are at risk of falls)
Assessing joint movement and flexibility (for arthritis or stiffness)
Strength tests to see which muscles may need support
This part of the session is gentle, guided, and fully adapted to your comfort level—no pressure, just progress.
Step 3: Setting Goals & Creating Your Treatment Plan
Together, we’ll set realistic and achievable goals to help you regain strength and confidence. Your plan may include:
Gentle exercises to improve strength and balance
Fall prevention strategies for safety at home
Pain relief techniques to ease stiffness or discomfort
Each plan is completely tailored to your individual needs—whether you want to walk more confidently, get out of a chair with ease, or simply feel stronger day-to-day.
Step 4: Starting Treatment Right Away
You won’t have to wait to see progress—your physiotherapist will begin treatment in the very first session. This could include:
Guided exercises for strength and flexibility
Hands-on physiotherapy to reduce stiffness
Advice on safe movement and posture
Plus, we will show you simple exercises you can do between sessions to keep improving at home.
What Happens Next?
At the end of your session, we will discuss:
How often you may need physiotherapy
How to continue progress between sessions
Any follow-up appointments to track your improvement
We offer flexible appointments throughout the week—so you can get the care you need when you need it.
