The treatment may include hands-on techniques, active rehabilitation exercises, and education on self-management strategies. Â
Initial Assessment: Your physiotherapy initial assessment will be up to 60 minutes in length. During this visit your physiotherapist will provide clarity on your diagnosis. In addition to this you and your therapist will have a shared discussion about what is the best course of care for you. Â
