What to Expect From Your First Physio Session
If you’re preparing for your first physiotherapy appointment in Northern Ireland, you might be wondering what it’s really like. Will it be painful? Will they know what’s wrong? What if it’s awkward?
Don’t worry — at VincePhysio, we make it clear, calm, and comfortable.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to your first session:
1. A Warm Welcome
You’ll be greeted at the clinic with a friendly, no-pressure vibe. Vince believes in putting people at ease, especially if it’s your first time.
2. Initial Assessment
Expect a deep conversation about:
- What pain or discomfort you’re experiencing
- How long you’ve had it
- What your lifestyle and daily habits are like
This gives Vince the full picture so he can treat you, not just the symptoms.
3. Postural and Movement Analysis
Vince will check how you stand, walk, sit, and move. He’ll look for muscle imbalances, stiffness, or movement patterns that may be contributing to pain.
This is especially important in posture-focused physiotherapy — which is Vince’s speciality.
4. Hands-On Treatment
If appropriate, your session will include deep tissue work, mobility techniques, or specific physiotherapy treatments based on what Vince identifies.
Nothing is rushed. It’s all based on your body’s needs and pain tolerance.
5. Your Personal Plan
You’ll leave with a clear game plan:
- What’s going on in your body
- What changes you need to make
- What exercises or stretches to do at home
- How often you may need follow-ups (no pressure sales)
6. Questions? Ask Away
This is your time. Ask as many questions as you want. Vince genuinely wants to empower you with knowledge and understanding.
