What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is a healthcare discipline dedicated to helping individuals restore, maintain, and enhance their physical function, movement, and overall well-being. Physiotherapists are highly trained professionals skilled in assessing, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of conditions affecting the body, including musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiovascular disorders.
Preparing for Your First Physiotherapy Appointment
- 1. Wear Comfortable Clothing: Choose loose, comfortable attire that allows easy movement and provides access to the area being treated.
- 2. Bring Relevant Documents: Include medical records, referral letters, imaging reports (e.g., X-rays, MRIs), and a list of current medications, if applicable.
- 3. Think About Your Goals: Identify what you want to achieve through physiotherapy, such as pain relief, improved mobility, or enhanced function.
- 4. Prepare Your History: Be ready to explain your symptoms, including when they started, what triggers or worsens them, and any activities that are challenging.
- 5. Arrive Early: Plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork and settle in before your session.
- 6. Bring Questions: Write down any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss with your physiotherapist.
What does a physiotherapy appointment involve?
Brief History
Your physiotherapist will ask detailed questions about the onset of your symptoms, their progression, and any activities or movements that exacerbate or alleviate your discomfort. This in-depth dialogue is essential for identifying the root cause of your issues and forming the basis for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.
Physical Assessment
The assessment will include a physical examination to evaluate your posture, range of motion, strength, flexibility, and functional movements. Your physiotherapist may also perform palpation, applying hands-on techniques to assess the condition of muscles, ligaments, and bones. This tactile evaluation helps identify areas of dysfunction and informs the most appropriate course of treatment.
Treatment Plan
Based on the findings from the assessment, you and your physiotherapist will collaboratively establish a tailored treatment plan, which will include the following components:
- Treatment Techniques: Depending on your condition, your treatment plan will incorporate a variety of techniques, such as manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, stretching, strengthening, posture correction, gait training, and modalities (e.g., ultrasound, dry needling, acupuncture, shockwave therapy).
- Goal Setting: Together, you will establish SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) goals for your rehabilitation, ensuring clear and measurable objectives for your recovery.
- Home Exercise Program: To enhance your recovery, your physiotherapist will prescribe a home exercise regimen tailored to your needs, including stretches, mobility exercises, and strengthening routines. These exercises complement your in-clinic sessions and are essential to achieving optimal results.
- Progress Monitoring: Throughout your treatment, your physiotherapist will regularly assess your progress, adjust your treatment plan as needed, and provide ongoing support to ensure continuous alignment with your rehabilitation goals.
- Education:Your physiotherapist will also provide guidance on pain management, optimal movement patterns, posture correction, lifestyle adjustments, and more

My Why
Outside the clinic
Currently I play Soccer, Hurling and Gaelic Football. I want to continue to play field sports for as long as my body will allow me. In the winter I enjoy snowboarding in the winter and also trying new activities. I have recently been learning to ice skate and have a pipe dream of playing ice hockey. It is not looking good so far as I have no brakes, but who knows!
