what to expect: initial physiotherapy assessment
The initial assessment will take place virtually or in my home. To use our time efficiently it is important that you have your electronic intake paperwork completed prior to our session. You should be dressed comfortably and ensure that relevant areas be accessible for examination. For example, if your knee or hip is being assessed it would be best to wear loose fitting shorts, shoulders may require tank tops and so on. The assessment will begin with a discussion so you can tell me exactly what is going on in your own words. We will go over your completed paperwork and you can provide me with any other documentation at this time. We will move on to a physical assessment where I will feel and move the affected tissues and joints, test strength and sensation and so on. We will discuss my findings and I will propose a treatment plan. If deemed appropriate and time allows, we may try some treatment methods at the end of the assessment. At the end of this visit there should be a clear plan for follow up and if we plan a follow up treatment session, we will discuss if there is anything you need to do in preparation. The initial assessment is roughly 90 minutes in duration at a cost of $150 payable by e-transfer or cash. A detailed receipt will be provided and it is your responsibility to seek reimbursement if you have a third party insurance plan. Back to top.
* Special note that if the assessment is regarding adult pelvic health there will be a thorough physical assessment externally and internally (if deemed appropriate and with informed consent). Please be reassured that you are welcome at any time during your menstrual cycle and you do not need to cancel or rebook if you are bleeding.
* Special note that if we are addressing breast health a physical assessment will take place and if we are addressing breastfeeding, having your infant and/or a breast pump present will be helpful.
