The Early Intervention Advantage
Research consistently shows that early physiotherapy intervention — before pain becomes chronic — produces faster recovery, lower total cost, reduced medication use, and better long-term outcomes.
10 Signs You Should See a Physiotherapist
- Pain lasting more than 2 weeks. 2. Pain interfering with daily activities or sleep. 3. Arm or leg pain, tingling, or weakness. 4. Recurring pain (same injury recurring). 5. Recent fall or near-fall. 6. Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from the floor. 7. Pain that has been 'managed' with medication for months. 8. Dizziness or balance problems. 9. Post-surgical stiffness or weakness. 10. Any new diagnosis affecting movement (stroke, Parkinson's, MS).
What Happens at Your First Appointment
A comprehensive assessment including history, physical examination, movement analysis, and special tests takes 45–60 minutes. You will receive a diagnosis, education about your condition, and a personalized treatment plan at this first session.
