What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first visit is all about understanding what you’re experiencing and figuring out the right plan for you. We’ll take the time to listen, assess, and guide you every step of the way.

Health History and Background

We’ll begin with a conversation about your health history, any treatments you’ve had, and what you’re currently experiencing. This helps us understand what your body has been through and what it needs now.

Movement and Function Assessment

Your physiotherapist will assess how your body is moving. This includes looking at posture, range of motion, and how the chest, shoulder, and arm are working together.

Tissue and Swelling Check

If needed, we will assess for swelling, fluid build-up, or changes in tissue and skin sensation. This is especially important for diagnosing early signs of lymphedema.

A Plan That Fits You

Before you leave, we’ll walk you through your treatment plan. You’ll have a clear understanding of what we’re working toward and how we’ll support your progress.
