What happens at your first sports physio appointment

1

Talk through your injury and goals

Tell us what happened, how your symptoms have changed and what you want to work towards. Your training schedule and previous injuries help put the problem in context.

2

Assess your starting point

Your physiotherapist examines relevant movement and chooses tests suited to your concern. These may include strength, mobility or control, with findings recorded where useful for later comparison.

3

Agree on the next steps

We explain what the assessment suggests and discuss options for treatment and exercise. You can ask what to focus on between appointments and how we will review your progress. If you are recovering after surgery, bring any instructions from your surgeon so these can inform the plan.

Penrith sports physiotherapy FAQs

Do I need to compete in sport to book sports physiotherapy?

No. You can book whether you compete, train recreationally or exercise for enjoyment. Tell us which activities matter to you so the assessment and plan reflect your goals.

What should I bring to my sports physio appointment in Penrith?

Wear clothes you can move in and bring footwear used for the activity you want assessed. Any existing scan reports, operation notes or rehabilitation instructions can also be useful. Call our Penrith team if you are unsure what to bring.

Can I book sports physiotherapy after knee surgery?

Yes. Rehabilitation after knee surgery can be discussed at an assessment. We consider the procedure, your stage of recovery and your surgeon's instructions when planning the next steps.

How do you decide when to progress my rehabilitation?

We consider your symptoms, your response to the current program and the tasks you are working towards. Relevant testing may help compare your progress with your starting point. Decisions about training and competition are discussed individually rather than promised for a fixed date.

Do I need a referral for a private sports physiotherapy appointment?

No GP referral is needed to book privately. If you intend to use a funded referral or injury claim, contact our Penrith team before booking so they can confirm the applicable requirements and fees.
