Booking a Physiotherapy Appointment
We offer appointments at our Carryduff Physiotherapy Clinic and on home-visits. Our physios will require an initial 45 minute consultation with you. The consultation will involve a discussion of your symptoms and personal goals followed by a physical assessment. During the examination, your physiotherapist will be assessing your posture, joint range of movement, muscle tone, length and strength and, depending on your symptoms, may check your reflexes and sensation. On completion of your assessment your physiotherapist will give you a clear diagnosis, prognosis and discuss an appropriate treatment plan.
