What to expect

What to expect at your first women’s health physiotherapy visit

When you arrive at our bluestone clinic with onsite parking you will be greeted by reception in a calm waiting area. Your physiotherapist meets you there, walks with you to one of four private rooms, and helps you settle. Sessions may include time in our inviting studio, which has three dedicated exercise spaces designed for learning at an easy pace.

New clients often have many questions: Will my pain ease? How many visits do I need? What will it cost? We will make sure we cover all your questions and talk about these early, as well as listening to your story and goals. Most new clients need a few consultations, depending on what’s going on and how long it’s been. We outline scheduling and fees clearly, then confirm a Treatment Plan that reflects your goals. That plan is emailed in the week of your first consult or after your second, with small steps you can use between visits.
