A question we get asked really often is: “Will my physio try to see me too much, too many times?”

There is often a (legitimate) fear of not knowing exactly how long rehab might take, and what you are getting yourself into.

You may have even had a bad experience somewhere else, and were convinced that you needed to come back too much.

We want to bust those myths.

Should I Attend My Final Physio Appointment?

We get asked regularly the question - “do I need to attend my final physio consult?” 

You're not alone if you have thought about skipping your final appointment, although we fully understand this sentiment! 

It is a totally reasonable question to ask, especially if no one has explained the importance or significance of a final appointment, and it is a situation that requires an explanation so that you can make an informed decision.
