Your first appointment begins with a conversation about your symptoms, medical history and how your condition affects your everyday life. Your physiotherapist will then carry out a detailed assessment to help understand the cause of your problem. We'll explain our findings, discuss the available treatment options and agree on a personalised plan to help you move forward. Where appropriate, treatment can begin during your first appointment.

5. How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

Following your initial assessment, your physiotherapist will explain their findings and recommend a treatment plan based on your symptoms, goals and progress. We'll review your progress as you go and adapt your treatment to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

6. What makes RD Physio different from other physiotherapy clinics?

At RD Physio, we believe effective physiotherapy means looking beyond the area that hurts to identify and address the root cause of the problem, rather than simply treating the symptoms. Our experienced team takes a whole-body approach, combining hands-on treatment with individual assessment, clear communication and rehabilitation where appropriate. We take the time to understand your symptoms, explain our findings and work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses the underlying contributing factors and helps you achieve lasting improvements in your movement, comfort and quality of life.

​

7. Can I choose which physiotherapist I see?

At RD Physio, our team of highly experienced physiotherapists is committed to providing the highest standard of personalised care. Our clinicians are supported and mentored by our Clinical Director, Rodger, who brings over 30 years of physiotherapy experience to the practice. This shared knowledge and clinical expertise help ensure our team takes a thorough, considered approach to every patient. We look beyond the symptoms to identify the root cause of your problem, combining detailed assessment, hands-on treatment and tailored rehabilitation to address the underlying contributing factors and help you achieve lasting improvements in your movement, comfort and quality of life.
