First assessment
Ask what an initial physical-therapy assessment involves, how the appointment is arranged and what should be confirmed with a qualified clinician.
What to ask
Start with the conversation
Ask what an initial physical-therapy assessment involves, how the appointment is arranged and what should be confirmed with a qualified clinician.
Before arranging a visit, ask the practice to confirm the scope of the appointment, the professional you will meet and the secure way to share any requested clinical information.
Costs, insurance and referral requirements must be checked directly. An enquiry does not establish a diagnosis, treatment recommendation or confirmed appointment.
Your next step

Understand the assessment

Discuss a practical plan
Ask about the proposed approach, its limitations, how progress is reviewed and what the next appointment involves.
