Search By AreaAsk Friends and FamilyRead Online ReviewsAsk for a ReferralSchedule An Appointment

It’s easy to assume that all physios provide the same services and outcomes, but that’s not always the case. Some are more experienced than others and are known for delivering better patient outcomes. If you’re having difficulty finding a physiotherapist you can trust, keep the following search tips in mind. You might be on your way to reduced pain and increased comfort in no time. 

Search By Area

Geographical barriers can be frustrating. You might require a specialist in a specific area but only seem to identify physiotherapists outside your search range. In that case, consider using a search engine by location. You might search physiotherapy Melbourne to find a physiotherapist in Melbourne, Australia, or “physiotherapist Rochester” to find one in Rochester, New York. Most physiotherapists have websites and business listings online to be more accessible to their customers.   

Ask Friends and Family

Friends and family members can be a great resource when you know they’ve sought physiotherapy help for an injury or ailment like yours. Ask them what they thought of their chosen specialist and whether they would recommend them. Most people who are happy with the service they received from any provider would be happy to recommend them to other people.

Read Online Reviews

You’re trusting someone with your body. It’s only normal to want to make sure you’re trusting the right individual. Before selecting a physiotherapist you believe will suit your needs the best, take the time to read online reviews. 

These are typically available in most common search engines like Google. However, you can also find them on social media sites like Facebook. Often, physiotherapists connect Google Reviews to their website, enabling you to view them on their site. Pay attention to the ratio of negative to positive reviews and the contents of any poor reviews. If you notice any patterns, they may not be the right physio for you. 

Ask for a Referral

If you’re seeking help from a physiotherapist for an injury or ailment you’ve spoken to your doctor about, ask them for a referral. They likely know of one or more physiotherapists they trust and know will be the right specialist for your needs. Once you have a list of potential options, you can do your own online research to narrow your options further. 

Schedule An Appointment

The first appointment with a physiotherapist is generally an information-gathering exercise. They ask questions about your needs and what you hope to get from your appointments. For example, someone visiting a physio with a leg injury from a car accident might aim to achieve more mobility and less pain. 

Use this appointment as an opportunity to learn more about your chosen physio at the same time. Study their patient manner, and don’t be afraid to ask about their experience and credentials. You might then decide to make a second appointment or seek help elsewhere. 

Finding the best physiotherapist might not be a fast process, but it can be straightforward. Take some of these steps above, and you might have an appointment with a highly-regarded specialist before you know it.
