Your first sports physiotherapy visit at Southlands

1

Explain what has changed

We ask how the problem began, when you notice it and whether your exercise routine has changed. Bring your questions, including concerns about activities you are finding difficult.

2

Explore the movements involved

The assessment focuses on your concern and the demands of your activity. Your physiotherapist may look at movement, strength and control to help identify what needs attention. We explain what we are checking and why.

Build a plan you understand

Together, we discuss priorities for care and what you can work on between visits. This may involve exercise, treatment or changes to your training routine. At n1 physio, n=1: your circumstances guide the plan, and we review it as your needs change.

When an injury changes how you exercise

At n1 physio South Penrith, sports physiotherapy starts with the activity you are having trouble with. It may be ankle instability during court sport, a muscle strain affecting training, or tendon discomfort with repeated exercise. We can also discuss rehabilitation after a sporting injury or surgery, taking account of any advice you have already received. The assessment connects these concerns with your current movement and the activities you want to work towards.

South Penrith sports physiotherapy FAQs

Can I discuss a recurring training problem at South Penrith?

Yes. An assessment can explore a problem that keeps returning during exercise, as well as a recent injury. Let us know what brings it on, what you have tried and whether your training has changed.

‍

Will my sports physiotherapy appointment include exercises?

It may. Your physiotherapist can recommend exercises where appropriate and explain how to do them. What you work on depends on the assessment, your current capacity and what you want to achieve.

‍

Do I need to stop all exercise during rehabilitation?

That depends on your injury and circumstances. We discuss the activities involved and whether they need to be changed while you rehabilitate. Your appointment is an opportunity to ask about training rather than make those decisions on your own.

‍

Can I bring a program from my surgeon or another clinician?

Yes. Bring relevant instructions or an existing rehabilitation program to your South Penrith appointment. Your physiotherapist can consider that information alongside the assessment and discuss how it fits with your care.

Can I use private health cover for sports physiotherapy?

A rebate may be available if your policy includes physiotherapy. Check your cover with your insurer and ask our South Penrith team about appointment fees and claiming arrangements before your visit.
