Your first visit

Initial Consultation & Evaluation

Your first appointment at Solstice Physiotherapy will be an initial evaluation, which will last approximately one hour.

Your first visit includes:

• Comprehensive review of medical history.
• In-depth discussion of current symptoms.
• Physical examination to include detailed pelvic floor, hip, and back evaluations.
• Assessment and discussion regarding findings and the cause of symptoms.

We will address your concerns and answer any questions you may have. Together, we determine an appropriate plan of care, including the number of visits. Treatment plans vary in length and are individualized to meet the patient’s goals and lifestyle.
