Follow Up Assessment
Follow-up appointments are where the work of the initial assessment is refined, progressed, and solidified. Recovery and performance are rarely linear; these sessions allow us to monitor how your body is responding to the prescribed load, adjust your rehabilitation plan, and ensure you are consistently moving toward your goals.
At Be Proactive Physiotherapy, follow-ups are not just “check-ins”—they are active sessions focused on increasing your physical capacity and fine-tuning the details that make the difference between a temporary fix and a permanent solution.
Who Is a Follow Up Appointment For?
A Follow Up Appointment is suitable if you:
Are currently working through a rehabilitation plan from an initial assessment
Need to progress your strength or mobility exercises as your capacity increases
Require hands-on treatment to manage symptoms alongside your active rehab
Want to review your training load after returning to running or sport
Have encountered new challenges or “niggles” as you’ve increased your activity levels
Consistency is the key to physical change. Follow-ups provide the accountability and professional oversight needed to stay on track.
What the Appointment Includes
Your follow-up sessions are tailored to your current stage of recovery but typically involve:
Progress Review: A discussion on how your body has felt since the last session and how you handled your home plan.
Physical Re-Assessment: Targeted testing of the specific areas identified in your initial assessment (e.g., hip strength, ankle mobility).
Treatment & Technique: Refinement of exercise form or the use of manual therapy techniques (soft tissue work, joint mobilization) if required.
Plan Update: Adjusting your “Proactive Plan” with new milestones, increased resistance, or modified training volume.
What You’ll Leave With
Updated Roadmap: A clear understanding of your current progress and what the next phase of recovery looks like.
Progressed Exercises: New or modified movements designed to keep challenging your body.
Refined Advice: Specific guidance on how to manage your upcoming week of training or activity.
Confidence in Movement: The reassurance that you are loading your body correctly and safely.
Follow Ups for Runners and Active Individuals
For those in active training blocks, follow-up appointments are vital for maintaining momentum. We focus on:
Load Progression: Carefully stepping up your mileage or intensity to avoid “overuse” injuries.
Sport-Specific Drills: Integrating plyometrics, speed work, or heavy lifting into your rehab as you get closer to full fitness.
Taper & Race Strategy: Adjusting your plan if you have an upcoming event or competition.
Fatigue Management: Identifying signs of “under-recovery” before they lead to injury.
What to Expect From Your Appointment
Targeted 30 or 45-minute sessions depending on your needs.
A focus on high-quality movement and technical execution.
Clear communication on the “next steps” in your journey.
