Before Your First Visit: Preparing For Success
Proper preparation helps us deliver the personalized physiotherapy care you deserve from Singapore's leading movement-based physiotherapy clinic.
How to Prepare for Your First Visit:
-
Gather relevant medical documents:
Bring any recent X-rays, MRI reports, or doctor's referrals related to your condition. These provide valuable insights for our spine physiotherapy or sports physiotherapy assessment.
-
Wear comfortable clothing:
Choose loose-fitting, stretchy clothes that allow easy movement and access to the affected area. For lower body issues, shorts are ideal; for upper body concerns, a tank top or t-shirt works well.
-
Have a light meal:
We recommend eating something light 1-2 hours before your appointment. This helps maintain your energy levels during the comprehensive assessment and initial treatment. Avoid coming on an empty stomach as this may make you feel lightheaded during certain assessment techniques.
-
Arrive 10-15 minutes early:
This gives you time to find parking, locate our clinic at Civil Service Club, and settle down before your session begins. We have convenient parking inside the club and nearest train is Farrer Park MRT (take Exit B).
-
Make a list of questions and concerns:
Note down specific questions about your condition, pain patterns, and goals. This ensures we address all your concerns during your session.
-
Consider your pain history:
Reflect on when your pain started, what activities worsen or improve it, and how it affects your daily life. This information is crucial for accurate diagnosis of back pain, neck pain, or sports injuries.
Remember, our AHPC-certified physiotherapists in Singapore are here to help you move better, live stronger, and become pain-free. The more information you provide, the more effectively we can treat your condition.
