On your first visit, we ask you to bring the following:
– An identity document / passport / driving license
– A referral from the general practitioner or specialist (if referred)
A treatment at VoetPortaal follows a fixed structure:
Every first visit will start with a history taking / interview to identify the complaints. The therapist will then inspect your feet for details and assess the position of your body in relation to your feet. This includes a dynamic gait analysis and a physical examination to map the functioning of joints and muscles.
Keep in mind that the examination will require clothing to be taken off – be sure to wear underwear that makes you feel comfortable.
By gathering all this information, the physical therapist gets a good and comprehensive picture of the functioning of your body and can determine the most suitable treatment for you.
