Every person’s recovery is different. An assessment helps connect symptoms with movement, strength, daily activities and personal goals.
Understanding the problem
Assessment after an accident looks at the movements and daily activities that remain difficult. Symptoms can affect work, sleep, exercise and ordinary tasks, but the pattern and severity vary from person to person.
What physiotherapy may involve
- Discussion of symptoms and medical history
- Assessment of movement and function
- A personalized rehabilitation plan
- Progressive exercise and movement guidance
- Home exercise recommendations where appropriate
When to seek help
If pain, stiffness, weakness or loss of movement is persistent, worsening or affecting normal activity, a qualified health professional can assess the situation and advise on appropriate care.
