Does Physiotherapy hurt?
Physiotherapists are careful to minimise a patient’s pain during the assessment as they seek to determine the underlying cause / diagnosis of the patient’s condition. Nevertheless, some patients may experience pain during their assessment.
Some treatment techniques do result in patients experiencing short lived post treatment soreness. Your physiotherapist will seek your feedback throughout your appointment on any pain you are experiencing so that they can to ensure minimal discomfort in achieving longer term benefits.
If on attending your physiotherapy appointment your level of pain is high then, contact can be made with your Doctor to seek advice on a suitable prescription.
