If you're considering home physiotherapy, you might be wondering what your first session will involve. Whether you're an NDIS participant or looking for convenient physio care, this guide will walk you through what to expect.


1. A Warm Welcome & Understanding Your Needs

Your physiotherapist will start by introducing themselves and explaining how the session will work. They’ll take the time to understand your specific concerns, medical history, and personal goals. If you’re an NDIS participant, they'll also discuss how physiotherapy can support your plan goals.


2. Comprehensive Assessment

The physio will assess:

  • Your mobility and movement (e.g., walking, balance, strength, flexibility).

  • Any pain or discomfort you experience.

  • Your daily activities and functional abilities.

  • Your home environment to identify any risks or modifications that could improve safety and independence.


3. Personalised Treatment Plan

Based on your assessment, your physiotherapist will create a tailored plan that may include:

  • Hands-on therapy (if needed) to relieve pain and improve movement.

  • Targeted exercises to strengthen muscles and enhance mobility.

  • Posture and movement advice to prevent injuries and improve function.

  • Equipment recommendations (if beneficial for mobility and independence).


4. First Steps Towards Progress

Your physiotherapist will guide you through some initial exercises or techniques to start working towards your goals. They’ll ensure you feel confident and comfortable with each movement. When it comes to exercise the most important thing is making sure you enjoy it! With that in mind your physio will work with you to pick the most appropriate exercises for you.


5. Next Steps & Ongoing Support

At the end of the session, your physio will:

  • Discuss how often you should have sessions.

  • Provide a home exercise plan (if applicable).

  • Answer any questions and set expectations for your progress.
