Your First Visit

Smart Motion Physiotherapy

Scheduling appointments for your first visit

Are you anxious about your first visit for physiotherapy? Our team ensure you are satisfied and know exactly what to expect because we recognize that getting physiotherapy can be a different experience.

Call us on 604-372-2750 or book online for your first visit. You can book your appointment without any recommendations. Your first appointment to a physiotherapy clinic is related to an injury you had or persistent pain that interferes with your day-to-day activities. Or perhaps you were referred to a physio clinic by a physician following painful hip surgery. Our specialists help relieve pain through fitness rehab programs and discomfort relief.

When You Arrive:

During your first visit, our practitioners will probably conduct an initial evaluation, review your medical history, and thoroughly discuss every aspect of your injury or problem. Your social background, including your occupation, interests, and activities, will be questioned to better understand the root of the issue and how it affects your daily life.

How Long is The First Physio Session?

The time required for your assessment will depend on how complicated your problem is.

Please allocate 45 to an hour for your initial session with your therapist. It takes an hour or more for musculoskeletal and sports injury examinations. Assessments for children with neurological conditions take around an hour and a half. Your consultation will be shorter than that of an elderly patient with chronic pain if you are younger and dealing with a short-term, acute injury, such as a sprain or broken body part.  Sessions of rehabilitation last for forty-five minutes.

For your first visit to the physiotherapist, what should you wear?

There is not a stringent dress code for your first physiotherapy appointment, but please follow the rules the clinic has requested. Dress comfortably so that your physiotherapist can easily evaluate and reach the problem area. This enables physiotherapists to more effectively assess its state and monitor the healing process, improving their ability to perform their duties.

During the assessment

Once the source of your discomfort or pain is identified, we will share the treatment plan. Our therapists will begin your initial treatment and discuss with you the methods that will help you fully recover. We might also talk about any follow-up appointments required, depending on your condition.

Our goal at Smart Motion Physiotherapy is to ensure your comfort and that your expectations are surpassed. Your inquiries concerning your care, progress, insurance coverage, scheduling, and billing are addressed carefully.

We always welcome new patients, and we will make sure your first visit is comfortable.
