WHAT SHOULD I DO IN BETWEEN VISITS?

Depending on your condition you may be advised on a patient action plan developed specifically

for you, this is a vital element in your treatment. The patient action plan may consist of advice

on rest, avoidance of aggravating factors, postural education and the application of therapeutic

interventions such as ice/heat, if appropriate. Your programme will also include elements of

stretching, strengthening and stabilizing all of which will be demonstrated by your therapist who will

bring you through these elements step by step. Some lifestyle changes may also be suggested. On

occasion the inclusion of other healthcare professionals may be recommended in which case referral

can be arranged.
