Here are my Top Tips for getting the most out of your sessions.
1. BE ON TIME and DRESS APPROPRIATELY
If you are late and not in the correct attire your treatment time is shortened as we have other patients scheduled. You will miss out on the full benefit of your session.
2. DO THE PRESCRIBED EXERCISES
Physio sessions are about 45 minutes so how many hours are you still reinjuring yourself. There is only so much we can squeeze in to those 45 minutes so it is imperative for you to continue with your home exercise program.
3. DON’T LISTEN TO STUPID PEOPLE
OK, So they trying to help and are not really stupid but Don’t follow advice from anyone who lacks the expertise in this field.
4. KNOW YOUR PAIN and BE A JOURNALIST
Is it sharp, burning, numbness, where, when how. Is important for proper diagnosis. Write it down as for most of us, our memory fails at the most critical times. `
5. PREVENT, MAINTAIN AND TAKE IT SLOW
Prevent future injuries by correct biomechanics (Prescribed by the Physio),
See your physio once a month for maintenance and go back into sport progressively.

It's a good idea to try to get the most out of your physiotherapy. Being on time and professional about it is only smart. You don't want to lose out on your session. Doing your part by remembering your exercises at home is also essential. It's your body, take care of it. http://www.physiotherapywest.com.au/
I love what you said about doing the prescribed exercises. A therapist can only do so much to help with your recovery. It's still up to you to do what's necessary to see improvement! http://www.claytonheightsphysio.com/en/physiotherapy.html
Doing the prescribed exercises at home, like you mentioned, is a great way to keep up your physical progress. If you are just doing the exercises when going in for physiotherapy, your progress will be slow and there is the possibility of injuring yourself more when you're not in a session. Doing the exercises will help your body adjust again and hopefully you'll be back out doing sports or other exercises soon. http://www.coronationphysio.ca/About-Physiotherapy/Why-Physiotherapy/a~2803/article.html
