Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Why do I need to attend a Pre-Class Assessment?
This initial session provides the Physiotherapist with a thorough history of your health and injuries and ensure that you are working at a safe yet challenging level of exercise. The initial assessment also provides time for 1:1 instruction of foundational exercises.
I am an existing patient of the practice, do I still need a pre-class assessment consultation?
More than likely yes, however if you are currently under physiotherapy care you can discuss this with your physiotherapist.
