Frequently asked questions

What is the Initial Physiotherapy Assessment for?

This is the best place to start if you are new to Coastly, have a new concern, or feel unsure about what your body needs. We’ll talk things through properly, look at what feels relevant, and make a clear plan so you are not left guessing.

Will I need an internal assessment?

Not always. If pelvic health symptoms are part of what you want support with, Garance will explain the most appropriate assessment options clearly first. Nothing is done without your consent, and the appointment is always paced around what feels comfortable for you.

Can I book if I’m not postnatal?

Of course. You can book for pregnancy support, pelvic health symptoms, back or pelvic pain, scar recovery, movement rehab, strength work, massage, or simply because something does not feel quite right in your body.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Wear comfortable clothes you can move in, and bring any relevant reports, letters or questions. Pre-crawling babies are welcome.

What happens after the assessment?

You’ll leave with a clearer idea of what may be contributing to your symptoms and what to do next. That might include treatment, exercises, strength work, simple changes at home, follow-up support, or reassurance about how to move forward.
