What kind of training do they have?

What do I bring to an appointment?

Bring any reports, scans or test results that you have. You may need to undress to your underwear for some areas. You may also need to use exercise equipment so you may want to bring or wear comfortable clothes.

What will treatment feel like?

Massage, stretching, repetitive movements and mobilisation are often part of treatment. If you have pain your therapist will be careful to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Communication about pain will help you work together with what is comfortable.

Mild soreness for a day or two after treatment is possible. However, if pain persists or increases, call your physiotherapist to discuss.

A consultation with a physiotherapist at MOVE will take place in a private room. Treatment can include hands on techniques, taping, dry needling and exercises. However, sometimes part of treatment may take place in the gym space if exercise equipment is needed.
