What to expect at your first appointment

Firstly, on arrival at The Vale Clinic, you will be asked to complete a Consent Form giving your personal details (which, of course, will be kept confidential) and agreeing to the terms of your treatment.

You are most welcome, if you prefer, to be accompanied at your appointment by an adult friend, partner or spouse. (Children and vulnerable adults must be accompanied by a responsible adult.)

You will be seen on a one to one basis by one of our qualified physiotherapists who will assess your condition and design a treatment plan for you.

Treatment will begin during the first appointment.

Appropriate exercises will be explained for you to carry out at home to complement your treatment at the clinic and to maintain your positive progress.

You will be encouraged to ask any questions you like – both at the appointment and afterwards. Any necessary follow up appointment will be arranged before you leave the clinic.”
