Jo will listen to your history and ask you about previous treatment, your symptoms, and your expectations for recovery. She will then examine the area and perform a series of tests that may include movement and strength testing. It is advisable to wear clothing that will enable her to see and test the area of concern.
After examining you, Jo will discuss her findings and your treatment options with you. You will have the opportunity to talk to her about any specific concerns you may have.
Occasionally, further imaging investigations or tests may be needed to help determine the best management for your condition.
Specialist Physiotherapists don’t provide ongoing, routine rehabilitation services. If ongoing physiotherapy treatment or rehabilitation is required Jo may either refer you back to your physiotherapist if you already have one, or may link you with a physiotherapist with expertise in managing your condition to continue your rehabilitation.
If you have an accepted ACC claim your Specialist Physiotherapy appointment will be fully funded.
One new patient assessment and up to four follow-ups is fully funded by ACC with an accepted claim.
