What to Expect at Your First Physiotherapy Appointment

By Hiral Ghoghari, Lead Physiotherapist · SpineAlign Physio & Wellness, Finchley Road

Not knowing what to expect can be the biggest barrier to booking that first appointment. Here's exactly what happens, step by step, no GP referral needed.

1. Assessment

We listen to your history and assess your movement to understand what's really driving the pain.

2. Physical Examination

A hands-on examination of the affected area and how it connects to the rest of your body.

3. Treatment Starts

Wherever appropriate, hands-on treatment begins in your very first session — not just assessment.

4. Personal Recovery Plan

You leave with a clear, personalised plan — exercises, timeline, and next steps.

Practical Details

Wear comfortable, flexible clothing. Consultations last 30 minutes. Pay-and-display parking is available along Finchley Road close to the clinic entrance.
