Possible outcomes

What happens after your appointment?

  • Imaging or further investigation
  • Referral to a physiotherapist
  • Scheduled monitoring and review
  • Treatment, if deemed medically appropriate
  • No treatment

Your practitioner explains which one fits you and why.

FAQ

Common questions

Ask anything else at your appointment.

Is this instead of seeing a physiotherapist?

No, it works alongside physio. Your practitioner adds a medical check and can refer you.

Should I get a scan first?

Usually not. Scans often show changes in people without symptoms too. Your practitioner will say if one helps.

How long does a strain take to get better?

It depends on the injury and how much you use it. Your practitioner tells you what to watch for.
