The number and timing of appointments depend on your symptoms, goals and assessment. Your physiotherapist can explain a proposed plan and review it with you as you progress.
What about maintenance visits ?
Have you heard of a performance wave? It's a term our PhysioCall.com.au therapists use to plan your physio rehab and maintenance plan.
Performance Wave: This term emphasizes the fluctuation of physical performance during a period of time. It highlights the idea that there are peaks (highs) and troughs (lows) in training, working, studying, and planning for those peaks helps you optimize performance. A client might say, “I peak in my performance wave at week 7 and is followed by a low the following week, so I’ll plan my rest week for week 8".
Maintenance or review visits should be based on your assessment, progress and goals. Discuss whether another visit is needed and what you can manage with your exercise plan.
