Your First Physio Session: What to Expect at Human Performance Lab Physiotherapy
You’ve booked your first session at Human Performance Lab Physiotherapy (HPL) great move.
Whether you’re bouncing back from injury, looking to level up your performance, or just tired of feeling “not quite right,” your first appointment is where everything starts to change.
Let’s walk you through exactly what to expect (and what makes HPL different).
1. We Start With You, Not the Injury
This isn’t a “where does it hurt?” kind of clinic.
We start by asking why it hurts, how it started, and what it’s stopping you from doing.
Our goal is to understand your story, not just your symptoms, so we can build a plan that fits your body, your goals, and your lifestyle.
At HPL, we treat people, not problems.
That’s how you go from temporary relief to lasting results.
2. Assessment That Actually Makes Sense
Your physio will take you through a movement and strength assessment that connects the dots between your pain and performance.
We’ll look at how you move, how you load, and what your body does under pressure.
No confusing jargon. No cookie-cutter tests.
You’ll walk away understanding exactly what’s going on and why it happened, because knowledge is power, and you deserve both.
3. Your Personalised Game Plan
Here’s where things get exciting.
We’ll build your roadmap to recovery including:
Targeted treatment to reduce pain and improve function
A tailored exercise program (delivered via our digital platform)
Clear milestones to track your progress
A plan that bridges rehab to performance, not just pain to pain-free
Every session is designed to move you closer to your goals.
Whether that’s returning to sport, lifting without pain, or just waking up feeling capable again.
4. Treatment That Works as Hard as You Do
Expect a hands-on, evidence-based approach with purpose.
We use manual therapy, exercise, strength testing, and load progression to make sure every session has a clear “why.”
We’re not here to keep you coming back forever, we’re here to get you back performing better than before.
5. Clarity, Confidence, and Next Steps
By the end of your first session, you’ll know:
What’s going on
Why it’s happening
What we’re doing about it
How long it’ll take to get there
You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a plan that actually makes sense, built specifically for you.
