Frequently asked questions
What should I expect from my first physiotherapy session?
The first session starts with a discussion of what happened, how long ago and any relevant past medical history, medications and allergies. The physiotherapist then discusses your exercise and lifestyle goals, may physically assess your injury, mobility and strength, and agrees treatment options before starting hands-on treatment or rehabilitation exercises.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
It depends on the severity of the injury, how long you have had it and what your goal is. Bristol Physio states that on average 2-6 sessions spaced between one week and one month apart is common.
Do I need a referral from a doctor to see a physiotherapist?
No. Bristol Physio can see you without a GP referral for any musculo-skeletal issue. A GP referral may be needed if you are seeing them through private health insurance.
What conditions can physiotherapy help with?
They describe themselves as musculo-skeletal specialists, so anything to do with muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons. Their service list also covers paediatric physiotherapy, shockwave therapy, acupuncture, diagnostic ultrasound, guided injections, podiatry and sports massage.
