Complete Physiotherapy Assessment in Southampton

The first step of your assessment is a detailed conversation where we listen to your concerns, medical history, and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your condition. This includes:
 

• Understanding the pattern of your symptoms – when and how they started

• Assessing your daily activities and movement limitations

• Reviewing any previous injuries or medical conditions

• Discussing your goals for recovery
   

This stage allows us to build a full
picture of your condition before moving to the physical assessment.

Once we have an understanding of your history, we proceed with a physical examination to confirm the diagnosis. This includes:
 

• Postural analysis to check for imbalances

• Joint and muscle function tests to assess strength and flexibility

• Mobility and movement screening to identify restrictions

• Pain assessment to determine areas of discomfort

This stage ensures that we identify the root cause of your symptoms rather than just treating the surface-level discomfort.

Based on the findings from the subjective and objective assessments, our physiotherapists will design a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your goals. This may include:
 

• Hands-on treatment, such as joint mobilisations or soft tissue therapy

• Targeted exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and posture

• Pain management strategies, including education on lifestyle modifications

• Rehabilitation guidance to prevent future injuries

We also discuss the expected timeline for recovery and whether additional sessions may be beneficial for long-term results.
