What to Expect on Your First Physiotherapy Visit at SPCC

Booking your first physiotherapy appointment can feel uncertain — especially if you have never seen a physiotherapist before. At SPC in Chittagong, we keep that first visit calm, clear and useful. Here is exactly what to expect.

1. We listen to your story

Your session starts with a conversation. We ask about your pain or problem — when it started, what makes it better or worse, your daily activities, past injuries and your goals. This history often reveals most of the diagnosis.

2. A hands-on assessment

Next we examine the affected area: how it moves, where it hurts, your strength, posture and, where relevant, nerve signs. This shows us which structures are involved and why the problem is happening.

3. A clear diagnosis, explained simply

We then explain what is going on in plain language, so you understand your condition and what recovery is realistic. No jargon, no guesswork.

4. Your treatment starts

Most patients begin treatment on the first day — this may include manual therapy, electrotherapy and a few starter exercises — plus simple advice you can use at home straight away.

What to bring and wear

• Wear or bring loose, comfortable clothing so we can examine the area
• Bring any reports, X-rays or MRI scans you already have
• Arrive a few minutes early for your first visit

Common questions

How long is a session? Usually 30–45 minutes, with the first visit a little longer.

How many sessions will I need? It depends on your condition — we give you an honest estimate after the assessment.

Does it hurt? Treatment is gentle and stays within your comfort; tell us any time if something is too much.
