Your First Appointment
Online Or In-Person Physio
I’m looking forward to working with you during your upcoming online or in-person physiotherapy appointment. Let’s get you set up for success so we can focus on what matters most—getting you moving and feeling better.
Prior Info: If you have had scans, specialist appointments etc, please email me those prior to the appointment, or let me know where you had them so I can find the reports. email: [email protected]
Important: Please fill out this intake form prior to your appointment.
NB: Having your NHI number is very handy for finding information.
What to Expect For Online
Prepare Your Space:
Make sure you can move your screen to show your whole body. Choose a private spot where you’re comfortable discussing your health.
Technology: Log in 15 minutes early using the link provided. If tech gremlins strike (as they do in rural areas), we’ll manage it!
Whether it’s restarting, switching platforms, or dropping video, we’ll find a way to keep things rolling. I will call you or email you with our alternative plans so be ready and make sure your phone number is filled in the form.
Session Details
Built For Rural Remote and Straightforward People
Duration: The initial session is 60 minutes. Video health and in person sessions are the same length.
What We’ll Cover: Your health history, current injury, movement/strength tests (you might need a helper!), and a clear plan by the end of our chat.
Be Honest: I’ll ask you about your sleep, fuel, hydration, habits, and overall health— so be ready to share openly.
After the Appointment
By the end of the session, you’ll know:
What’s going on with your body.
Your plan, including exercises and videos to guide you.
How long it will take and how many sessions you’ll likely need.
I’ll also send you a summary email with bullet points, and we’ll book your follow-up (30 minutes).
You will be offered a membership at starter pricing - $12 per week, where you have access to consistency based treatment, and review of exercises. This is not physiotherapy, but helps you stay on track with your programme to make your next appointment more valuable. .
